[QUOTE="monkeypigeon, post: 283458"] <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (shtove @ Oct 17 2009, 03:37 PM) [url='index.php?act=findpost&pid=416974']<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/url]</div> Disagree. Centre partnership is a weakness because it's not providing options, but must give it time. Drop Howlett. Should have taken an early try, and missed first up tackles that forced him to cover back and screw up his hamstring. Perpig will feast on Munster's scrum, even with the first choice back. Treviso's first try was classic exploitation of that weakness. Surprised that Horan's withdrawal was the thing that steadied it up - would have thought Buckley. Any views? Second half defence from Treviso was a farce. Williams at 14 is a very tricky attacker, but he doesn't know how to defend his wing. Warwick was best player on the pitch by a mile. [/b][/quote] Fine, I'll give it one more match but even last year when Earls played a match at first centre and Mafi at second centre there was at least three 'tries to be' that weren't because Mafi insists on going on his own. The only good thing he did today (in attack) was not in second centre position but when he collected the ball in open play and made a counter. Howlett pulled the hamstring before he missed that tackle, but I said it last year anyway that he's lost a bit of confidence and maybe he should be dropped. Tomas still doesn't looked as sharp as he did at the end of last year but he was far better than he was last week. Earls looked good when he got the ball. Which was nice. [/QUOTE]
