[QUOTE="stormmaster1, post: 179277"] Murphy is a classy player with lots of skill, capable of running great lines. Dempsey is a strong direct runner. A decent finisher but more solid, less flash, less creative. Murphy is awesome when on fire, but found wanting at top level when not on top form or confidence. Dempsey is good and reliable every time. Dempsey is a better tackler, whereas Murphy struggles when unable to line his man up well, but mainly against big strong runners. 2 very different players. I think Murphy should be picked when on form, (like now) and especially when Ireland probably need an extra creative player in the backs. Dempsey works best playing off his Leinster teammates in D'Arcy and O'Driscoll. Now the centre balance has changed i think Murphy should be there, especially if Wales play an open game. [/QUOTE]
