[QUOTE="Groundhog, post: 880662, member: 50079"] He hardly destroyed Munster in the air come on. My concern is not his chasing ability or actual ability under the high ball, but his positioning against kicks, soft defence in general and the fact I don't even think he's the better than Daly etc at the moment. This will stand to him as a player, and at the very least he's unlikely to get burned on the outside. Agree with Muff that he and Farrell haven't earned this, but it's not really a merit based selection it's potential based, which people have crucified Schmidt for in the past, so I'll have faith. If we put the physical gifts Byrne and Farrell have onto a grafter like Darragh Fanning we'd have a surefire Lions captain on our hands. [/QUOTE]
