[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 145850"] I think that attitude in the IRFU is changing. Gavin Duffy is on the bench to face France. Johnny O'Connor can put himself back on the map with a couple of good performances. Danny Riordan and Andrew Farley were both in the extended Ireland squad during summer training. David Gannon and John Lyne have both captained the Ireland U21s. Having said that, Durcan is an massive outsider to be in the running at 10 come 2011. He's very raw and has to beat out Tim Donnelly and Andy Dunne before he can even make the Connacht side. I wasn't sure whether Contepomi signed a two or three year deal. For Ireland's sake, it's good news that it's just for a couple of years. You're right about Sexton he has a strong kicking game but he's developing his running/passing game under David Knox. Keatley came on leaps and bounds playing in the centre for Ireland U19 for a season; it made him a far more rounded player. He's also a clutch kicker with some game winning performances in the U20 Grand Slam winning side. If Leinster somehow manage to still have both players on their books in 2009, it'll be a nice problem seeing who'll get the nod to take over from Dr Phil. [/QUOTE]
