[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 1071982, member: 45598"] Starting to see this to a lesser degree here. I think it puts much more pressure on a losing team when everyone starts screeching that X or y player, neither of whom are good enough, need to be starting. I give Jack Carty a tougher time than he deserves on here but there are constantly people claiming he's Ireland's best 10. In reality, he's a key player for Connacht who do well in the URC but couldn't close out wins with two and three score cushions two weeks in a row at a Euro level. He's not cut out for international rugby. Carty is the most prominent but definitely not the only one, it used to be McCloskey, O'Halloran and Healy had their runs too. I'd often skim the England thread and see guys named who I wouldn't want in a Leinster set up never mind Ireland. Often in mid to low table and effective because of that. [/QUOTE]
