[QUOTE="Groundhog, post: 874840, member: 50079"] I see no evidence as to where you're pulling the outright passing superiority from. Reid can pass, but Scannell didn't wander in from playing outhalf his whole life without being a very god distributor. Not always the role he's asked to play mind, but still. Scannell is physically dominant in a lot of his tackles, times well and actively drives players back, which Reid is not really capable of. It's a case of a good distributor vs a well rounded centre. Either way it's a moot point as yeah O'Loughlin at 13 with DK and Byrne(?) on the wings is also pretty likely and in my opinion stronger for the game that's in it. On the front 5, they're not as good as Leinster's, but Kilcoyne (lack of rugby intelligence lets him down, but a good mobile carrier), Scannell and Ryan is about as mobile a front row as you'll find, not as such for carrying for the latter two, more for getting through work, but our second row should be outclassed if you have any dignity as a province and don't want to be the team who missed the boat on Mark ******* Flanagan of all people.
