Please Deccie

I agree this squad is what i'd like to see. Maybe Kearney ahead of Murphy but I suppose Murphy offers more experience and leadership, he Is also a very skillful player and a good decision maker.

Wouldn't start Geordan Murphy, munstermuffin; Kearney fullback, Trimble on the left wing. And I thought Healy was totally justified as the first choiuce number 1 in last night's game. I thought Horan was abysmal.

Agreed with you on maybe Kearney at Fullback and well Trimble could sneak wing (although I hope not) but I just selecting while thinking like Kidney as in I'd have Buckley in at 3 and Healy at 1 but Deccie won't select Buckley at 3 and well Healy will probably get the 1shirt but I'd say Kidney is considering Horan.
Also think O'Driscoll will get 2nd row spot as Deccie is a fan of him and well the 2 Ulster lads had to have game of life last night to overtake.

Snoop also I agree Fogarty is more experienced but is liable to buckle at line-outs but well if Cronin can do the full 80 then great as well i don't know I think Flannery has lost bit of the dynamic about him and Cronin has great chance to fly up the pecking order. And well Varley is back-up now but removed D. Fogarty from back-up and well I can assure you had Fla in a sweat too as he is a fine player.

And snoop I agree with you that Horan is in a major fight now to keep hold of Munster shirt never mind Irish shirt because Du Preez is a super player and well he did wonders for us in winter and well in my opinion he's too good a player to be a reserve prop.

On a positive note it's amazing we can still put out a decent looking team with all the injuries we have. If we were in the same position 10 years ago they'd probably have to call off the tour.
