I know, my point is that Mallinder has failed to replace a guy who makes everyone around him worse in 5 years on the job!

I think we'll see Byrne in Connacht before too long because he's too good a talent to be sitting behind Carbery and Sexton.

As for the game it is hard to judge, definitely our best performance this season but the opposition was weak. Gibson-Park is our best 9 and Adam Byrne has come good at the perfect time. This team could reach a final with a bit of luck/avoiding a trip to London to face Sarries.
