[QUOTE="kick2touch, post: 84043"] Looking at it position wise we do have a very good team 1- Marcus is great around the field buit struggles against the big tightheads at scrum time 2- Jerry Flannery was for me the top hooker in the world last year matching Mealamu for work rates and actually hitting his targets in the lineout 3- 'The Bull' Hayes what a man, what a legend, what a shite scrummager, probably the best lineout lifter iv ever seen though 4- Malcom/Donnacha this is probably the iresh teams most interesting positional battle, with both of them being world class lineout technicans and working like backrows around the pitch 5- Paul O'Connell, simply the best second row since MJ, flawless 6- Easterby is the best backlineout jumper going at the mo, works like a dog and is as reliable as big ben 7- David Wallace matched McCaw in NZ, was the best 7 in the 6N and to top it all off his thighs are so big he has to get custom made pants 8- Leamy, the best no8 in the world full stop. 9- Stringer, excellent passer and is growing as a threat around a ruck, very reliable 10- ROG, does the job with the boot and is improving at releasing his backline 12- Gordon D'Arcy. injury prone and suffered from second/third season jitters. Excellent at the breakdown. Hopefully will peak for World Cup 13- BOD, If there is a better centre in modern times I havent seen him. Again excellent at the break time 11- Shaggy proved his pedigree in last years HC and 6N, but perhaps lacks that extra yard of pace 14- Andrew Trimble, the young gun of the squad, excellent going forward not so-hot going back especially under the high ball. I would like to see him partnered with BOD in the centre at some point 15- Murphy, dare i say it ; the best fullback going now that Mils is playing centre [/QUOTE]
