[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 919087, member: 45598"] I don't think there's much point in starting Addison, I'd say he's the 5th best available 15 and in a toss up with a few guys in and out of the squad for third best 13* but he's a great bench option covering the back three and outside centre. I don't think Schmidt has any interest in Carbery as a 15 and knows now not to put Earls in the centre. Addison and Larmour are the only options at 23 to stop either of these things from happening. Schmidt has always loved a utility at 23 when possible and isn't afraid to pigeon hole players as one at international level, Ferg being a solid example. *Anyone else reckon that this position has over taken 9 and 10 as the position worst affected if numero uno goes down? The added dimension Ringrose brings to attack and defence is worth a try and a couple turnovers/forced errors a game. Sexton visibly struggles without him for Ireland (and when Toulouse successfully man marked him out of the game) which highlights Murray's sole weakness of being a bit ponderous in opponents 22s more too.
