[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 934739, member: 45598"] I agree Sexalicious should have been taken off if Carbery was available but otherwise nah. Carty is in the squad so Schmidt has 4 tens who are familiar his system and that's about it, Ross Byrne will go to Japan ahead of him. I absolutely disagree with Sexton being a toxic presence, with the exception of Thomond Park this year he's never been a major negative in any poor team performance and he's always one who's up for the craic with the lads by all accounts. The "died" with Murray and Zebo, his Lions record and him taking the whole Leinster squad back to his house after their Heineken Cup win last year are example enough that he's a great squad man. He also was far from bad yesterday, with the exception of his kickoffs which were way off. (even then Stockdale turned one of them into a try) It was blatantly obvious that players around him weren't where they were told to be an awful lot of the time, when else do you see Sexton check and go himself or shovel shite to the nearest player? It's not his game. [/QUOTE]
