[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 1079243, member: 39240"] Watching it and not reading anything here are my few thoughts: - Sheehan was excellent. A tough nut. - Frontrow was good but also thought Kilcoyne was very good when on which is a pity as we have 3 top LHPs. - Baird was very good BUT hard to judge as lack of scrums meant different dynamics, more energy etc. - POM was actually very good as a leader and link player. Showed he can play this style. Yes he was possibly 3rd best of the backrow but well to be fair him and Doris were meh and VDF was a beast. No shame in that. - Casey showed there is a 9 battle and well JGP showed he just can't ever break away and fully make the jersey his own. I wouldn't be surprised to see Murray at 9 vs England. - 10. Joey had a bit of mixed day but Farrell was dead right to see it. And to be fair it was an unstructured game and well Italy got scrappy so hard to be overly critical of Joey. Sexton will start against England but fact is nobody has put it up to replace Joey as 2nd choice yet. Carty was only one maybe but he isn't fancied it seems. - Centres. I worry for Henshaw. I think it scary since Lions tour how far Aki has pushed ahead. Henshaw seems broken a bit. - Back 3. Not his biggest fan but Lowe seems to have wrestled Conway out of back 3. Hard to say they were good or bad vs Italy with 2 man advantage but that not their fault. [/QUOTE]
