[QUOTE="Peat, post: 494490, member: 42330"] Problem is, who? I'd say the next best Irish 7 at the moment is Henry or Wallace, both of whom are about as much as 7s as O'Brien - not quite the orthodox beast, and picked as much for their carrying as their work at the breakdown. After the two named, you have a collection of players who are variously too small (Jennings, Faloon), too weak (Ronan), too blindsidey/raw (O'Mahony, Ryan) or too crippled (O'Connor). O'Brien at 7 is not a major part of the problem in my eyes, and even if it was, there's not a whole to be done, unless Henry's a bit better than even I thought - and I rate him pretty high. He should be involved. I'd consider having his man babies if he asked. But top rate international openside? Hmm... [/QUOTE]
