[QUOTE="dangandan, post: 352419, member: 22631"] I completely agree with this. Ireland haven't looked good for a long while now and comments on this forum lead us to go into each game with extremely high expectations. Kearney is an average player. If you're an outside back you need to be able to beat a man, which he consistently doesn't do. To me D'Arcy looks like a winger in the midfield. I've never rated his passing or offloading game where all i see him do is dart and try to burrow through like a hooker. BOD is solid but needs to be at 12 so he can make space for someone like Earls. I think the only threats we have in the backs at the moment are Bowe and Fitzgerald... and maybe Sexton with BOD along side him. Also our front five have been shown up enough times now to show that they're crap. If you look at our team realistically, the only units in the team that would cause worry for another world class international side are our wings and backrow. [/QUOTE]
