[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 405194, member: 39240"] Lads it's simple about Barnes. He's the typical centre in the mould of Tipoki and to some extent Mike Mullins and these type of guys we have always had at 13 and have won with. Danny is a young centre and people are right when they say he won't make it with Ireland because (and this is coming from someone who has seen Danny alot) he isn't as natural at 13 as Spence or O'Malley. Those 2 guys just look so natural at 13 and will be battling for Irish 13 jersey in future as they just have these natural lines in attack. However out of the 3 names mentioned I can easily say Danny is the best defender. Like Munster's past 13's (and I don't mean like Tuitupou or anyone thrown in) Danny is easily capable of being HEC standard and well has good attacking lines, decent pace, good rugby brain and well a superb technique in the tackle. He will benefit from games like Saturday and with a bit more muscle, experience and games he will be a nice 13 for us. As mentioned he hasn't had the best of seasons with regards to injury as he was on verge of breaking in to team before Christmas but he has really bounced back. And the likes of Barnes and Jones (especially Felix) have showed amazing mental strength and character to keep positive through their injuries and put in amazing effort in rehab and get back to level they are at now.
