[QUOTE="Leinster Fan, post: 979890, member: 76349"] Have to say I'd disagree with this, he was bad in Japan (probably due to the fact that he clearly wasn't match fit but Joe's hand was forced) but other than that he's been very good on the rare occasion he actually makes it to the pitch. Would have said he was probably Leinster's best back at the buisness end of last season, before that (if you ignore the game where he was played miles out of position) all he's had in the last two or three years is the Oz tour where both he and Aki were very poor in thefirst test and then got way better for the other games and a bunch of European games for Leinster where he was almost always good. I just think it's odd that his stock (among fans if not coaches) has fallen so drastically over the last while despite him barely playing and being mostly excellent when he has played (in my opinion). That all said, McCloskey is worth a look, would definitely have him ahead of Aki. [/QUOTE]
