[QUOTE="big ginger 8, post: 714744, member: 53057"] That's the problem with relying on stats. For a tight five forward 6 metres is fine. When you're carrying in tight you're usually going to be below 10m. His first penalty was one of those in the first 10 minutes where Barnes basically said it was harsh saying he was trying to roll away (and later didn't give a penalty against a Welsh player because he was 'trying to roll away...) and his second was for dominating in the scrum where Barnes said he was wheeling, it was a fair enough call but I don't think you'd expect it to be given most times. 22 Irish players didn't have a turnover, so pretty harsh to hold that against him. I'd say Murray Kinsella's ruck marks will have him in a very good light. Healy probably did more damage to his chances really I'd say. [/QUOTE]
