Fixed.

Is he any good?

Sorry just seen this................he has, in my opinion been badly treated at Biarritz but there is a feeling that he thinks a little too much of himself also.

I first saw him when he was playing at 12 with Doussain at 10 in the French Under 20 about two years ago and thought he had something. Since then he has been in and out of the first team like a weather man in a Swiss clock and played all postions in the backs bar wing........

I do not feel that he has been told once that the 10 position is yours now go out and show us what you can do. It is more like, who the hell can we try at 10 now........40 minutes gone......well he is not up to it....let's put Perylongue back on. Lately it is even take him off and put Yach at 10 because Lesgourges is a good 9 in reserve!

His confidence must be in tatters............I went to Brive for the game there last season and he was warming up with the then backs coach, Isaacs. They just ran back and forward across the pitch passing the ball and Isaacs said absolutely jacks... to him....

I would like to know just how many games has he played at 10 with Yach inside of him?

I think he has real potential but he needs to be given a real chance and some support not least with some decent players around him who will give him the nod now and again. There again, maybe he is not up to it but I would really like to see him play for France and show the management at Biarritz that that is another decent player they have let go.......................

Poor signing. They already have Kearney at full back, and unlike Nacewa, Kirchner rarely ever plays different positions and I don't remember him ever playing on the wing. Leinster would have been better off signing a winger rather than a full back. And to be honest, Kirchner is a bit of an average player at 15 anyway to be honest.
 
Unless they think they might lose Kearney? Otherwise you're right, it doesn't make much sense.
 
Kearney has signed for at least another year, no idea who made this call and what they thought would come off it poor signing.
