[QUOTE="Groundhog, post: 1045954, member: 50079"] Again he's done nothing of note because he's been injured. How on earth is that a valid stick to beat him with? By that logic, why give Harry Byrne the jersey based off thumping well beaten Pro 14 teams? Joey is a pretty unknown quantity coming back from injury (pace and stepping ability included), but has shown in the past to be a very decent player and has had I think two MOTM performances for Munster since his return so its not like he's in shocking form. The guy is 25, he's not coming back from injury at 32 with a load of miles on the clock. A pretty poor, albeit winning performance in a pretty terrible team performance is his once chance? Beating the USA also won't give Harry Byrne the credentials to be an international 10 either, although woe to him if he does play badly, you'll presumably be calling for him to drop out. For the record I have no issue with Harry Byrne playing this game and as you know I rate him pretty highly. He should get a shot to play in this game and against whatever T2 we decide to play in the Autumn, solely because we know for a fact that Ross B and Burns are not and will never be at the level. That is not the case for Joey who was never an imposter at international level by any means. [/QUOTE]
