[QUOTE="Leinster Fan, post: 986860, member: 76349"] Consider me underwhelmed. No Addison on the bench means it's even worse than I was expecting. That centre pairing and backrow have consistently been shown not to be up to the task at this level. Overall having our worst season in years and making a grand total of one unforced changes* to the starting XV is a bit of a head scratcher. The less said about the continued selection of the country's sixth best performing scrum half the better. On the plus side, it's still good enough to have a decent chance against the Welsh, and excited to see Deegan get a chance. *and only one other change to the starting XV, which is to replace a retiree with a decent at best guy in his late 20s. I'll give him he tried with Doris but if he's willing to give Doris a go why not give Deegan or JOD a shot instead of reverting to the same old tired combination? This is a very moany post and overall I am pretty optimistic about the Farrell era but right now it does feel like we're starting out with the same selection flaws that ended (or likely would have ended in Joe's case) our last three coaches' reigns.
