[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 676797, member: 13611"] Do you think Jimmy Gopperth is playing so well that neither Ian Madigan nor Cathal Marsh should have had a single start in the 10 shirt? Is Darragh Fanning playing so well that Adam Byrne or Cian Kelleher should remain out of the picture? If Bryan Byrne is now the 3rd choice hooker ahead of Aaron Dundon as seems to be the case, would it not be wise to get him a start in a low pressure home game ahead of the start of the [I]not the Heineken Cup, sponsored by Heineken[/I] competition? I don't think Fanning, Gopperth or Cronin are bad players. Fanning ships a lot of criticism but rarely makes a mistake, Gopperth is a perfectly serviceable 10 and Cronin is deservedly an international. Gopperth has 400 minutes on the field this season. Nobody else has got a look in at 10. Darragh Fanning has played 400 minutes this season. Sean Cronin has played 360 minutes. Their backups aren't getting game time which hurts squad depth and leaves Leinster in the lurch if injuries strike. It's not as though results and performances point to the coach being correct either. [/QUOTE]
