[QUOTE="Jakedood, post: 955763, member: 72409"] This is a huge call from Schmidt. Devin toner has been badly improved in the loose, no longer a liability in the carrying department in particular. But his biggest asset is obviously the lineout, and with substandard throwers in Best and Cronin (and i am an advocate of Rory's, in that his clear out work and mauls are absolutely exceptional), i think Toner masks a major flaw in irish game. Look no further than the england game, or even when england played all blacks in the Autumn as to how crucial the set piece is. Toner gives solidity in a way Henderson doesn't, his lineout work is passable at best. And if the game is going away in set piece, he will stabilise it. Maybe not the scrum, but with our props, and Rory being credited as one of the best k hookers around, that's not so much of an issue Really shocked by this, but hopefully O'Mahony and Ryan can stand up and call well. Our timing in the lineout is paramount to Irish success [/QUOTE]
