To say he got shown up is unfair. That suggests Kearney played better than Byrne to oust him. In truth, Byrne was having a pretty good tour until he got injured. If he hadn't Kearney wouldn't have seen the 15 shirt.
Hm, yes. I meant 'shown up' in the sense that Kearney won far more plaudits than Byrne. Perhaps unfairly, but regardless, he played better when he had the opportunity.To say he got shown up is unfair. That suggests Kearney played better than Byrne to oust him.

Kearney won far more plaudits than Byrne thanks mostly to the band-wagon jumpers and the Irish press (who are just as bad as anywhere else in the world).[/b]
