[QUOTE="King_D'Arcy, post: 308083"] [b]Cons:[/b] All jokes aside I'm just gonna say it, D'Arcy was cack. Morrisson schooled him. Any lack of fluidity seen in the backs was because of him. Totally flustered. Had Wallace been playing could've made all the difference. Kearney has proven that he might've just been a flash in the pan (not just in this game but overall in this tournament). What were once the steadiest most reliable hands in international rugby are now jusrt a pair of slippery stubs Sexton's goal kicking is seriously suffering. His confidence has hit rock bottom. Ireland have proven again, like against france, that when they're on the backfoot they cannot deal with the pressure Scrum was just... ugggghhhh Cian Healy looks like a lost child at times... not too much to worry about I guess. I still think he'll mature into a world class prop. Hayes is a SACK OF **** Ireland's backrow, despite being world class, are put under pressure too easily Kidney showed poor management by not bringing on Cronin, Court, Cullen or O'Gara early enough [b]Pros:[/b] Murphy is still a great player (although not really a pro, we need the younger more promising Kearney to be better) O'Gara's experience can really be shown when he comes off the bench (not much of a pro either) David Wallace is a legend (again, I'd rather see the younger lads being the world beaters) Sexton can be a lethal weapon in attack. Really smart and unpredictable with his play making. A constant threat imo Tommy Bowe is a beacon of light. Despite what anyone may say he would be 1 of the first names on my team sheet for a world 15. What he might lack in pace compared to some SH number 14s he makes up for in intelligience, strength and work rate. An absolute legend. My ireland captain for when O'Driscoll retires. Earls is a good player. possibly should be playing at 13 So where to now Deccie? Changes need to be made. This trip to Australia and New Zealand can be used to try new things. Like was suggested before O'Dirscoll 12, Earls or Bowe 13? It's a serious option. Once Luke is back (and that day cannot come soon enough) that'll probably be the best option. Let's keep Healy at 1. I would never move Healy from there. We need him to progress. Let's move that extra baggage from number 3 and put in Court. Hayes isn't cutting it on the international stage anymore. Mike Ross please improve. Cullen is my new 1st choice number 4. Keep Sexton at 10 but if he's having a cack day at kicking in the 1st half and we're under pressure bring on ROG.
