[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 499394, member: 13611"] A bunch on clowns on LF.com and in the Irish media wanted Joe Schmidt fired by Leinster after a few poor performances while he was changing the way they played. After a 7-41 tonking at the hands of Wasps in August 2010, Schmidt had this to say in a Q&A with Leinster supporters: [I]We are going to see lots of those younger players over the season and we are going to the the privilege of watching them improve [/I] Playing that day for Leinster were Dave Kearney, Eoin O'Malley, Fergus McFadden, Ian Madigan, Richardt Strauss, Devin Toner, Sean O'Brien and Dominic Ryan. All have improved massively under Schmidt's tutelege. Penney arguably has as good a pedigree as Schmidt and has a hell of a record of developing players for the Crusaders and New Zealand. The point I'm trying to make in a roundabout way is that I hope Penney is afforded time to put his stamp on the team but fear a few bad results while he's trying to implement his gameplan will lead to calls for Anthony Foley to take over.
