[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 554464, member: 13611"] @psychic duck Humphreys was well known for shirking his defensive responsibilities. It's well and good that you found one clip of a man of the match performance from him in 2001, I'd argue that from 2000-2003 he was better than the Munster man. From 2003 on he wasn't and he never peaked like O'Gara did from 2006-2008 (World Cup 2007 excepted). I can barely remember details of what happened yesterday never mind 10+ years ago so Iwon't reel off a list of poor Humphreys performances. Off the top of my head, I think he was at the helm for the Murrayfield debacle in 2001 and he certainly cost Ireland against France in 1999. He was very, very poor in the 1999 World Cup. I re-state, Humphreys had more talent, O'Gara made better use of his talent. Thank God O'Gara's gone now though. He's woefully off the pace although you'd think he was one of the best players on the planet right now if you rread the inane rambling of Conor George in the Irish Independent. As recently as January he was calling O'Gara a Lions starter! [/QUOTE]
