I agree that this is far more important than playing to a rigid structure and seeking results at underage level. This Irish under 20 team is very much a mixed back with 6 or 7 players who can have very strong careers and a bunch who are there to make up the numbers.
It's a shame that the two most talented players in the Ireland squad in my opinion, play in the same position. I wouldn't complain if Burke was picked at 10 with McKinley at 12 in the next game. Other than Nevin Spence who's had to return home injured, the centres in this squad are unlikely to make it too much forther in the game. Pushing McKinley into the centre makes sense in that regard.
