[QUOTE="SimonG, post: 630712, member: 71048"] He's a massive loss. He's irreplaceable. His legs have gone and he's a good five years past his best, and yet last week vs Italy you saw a game that was very tight until he opened it up with two beautiful hand offs for the first half tries. Then his last action was another deft flick to set up a third. What he does he makes look easy, but if it were that easy others would do it...they dont. I fear Ireland will become predictable again as we were pre O'Driscoll...matching teams with workrate, desire etc but lacking the creative cutting edge. With a smaller pool of players to choose from the liklihood of unearthing a gem is that bit more remote. [/QUOTE]
