[QUOTE="ruggabee, post: 634172, member: 70704"] Well to me Fitzgerald hasn't been as noticeable since coming back from injury. He was on fire beforehand and was turning out some eye catching displays but not so much recently. Thing is even though he hasn't been standing out like before he hasn't exactly been s*** either and I can't really say McFadden has been that much better? Pretty baffling considering Fitzgerald provides the spark we sorely lack in this Leinster back line. He's also been dropped in favour of Kirchner for the 23 spot, although I've liked what I've seen from him and I'm pleased he got to silence those who thought he wouldn't be any good. Weird call if Fitzgerald's been dropped and not injured. With Madigan you know what he's capable of but it also requires a lot of trust. I think he's been pretty good lately but I guess for a KO match MOC feels it's better to go with the safer man in Gopperth. I don't really mind though, Gopperth can also pose a threat with his running game while also being sound in other facets of his play. He hasn't played a HC KO match before but I reckon he'll do alright. Reddan's dad was on the receiving end of a pretty serious burglary last night. Reddan's a professional but something like that is not a distraction you'd want before a KO match. [/QUOTE]
