Haven't heard anything over Gilroy. And regards Bent I haven't watched as closely but do think a lot of his critics were judging him on his TH performances only which isn't fair but interestingly Leinster have 8 players in the front row included. I think Kilcoyne is unlucky but it doesn't mean much as regardless they're not going to play.

Regards D'Arcy you probably have it right.

Gilroy I suppose is a flashy guy but is it that Joe prefers guys that are more effective aerially now as it is a key element of the game plan. I thought McFadden would be a Schmidt type of player in that he works hard and does dirty work like getting involved at rucks etc
