[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 833190, member: 39240"] Maybe some view him like that but sorry not me. Because the back row is so competitive I want every man busting a gut. I was Heaslips biggest critic and wanted Stander at 8. I'd still like to see it tried but admire he's always fit and kept his spot because he's busting a gut. I've seen it with Munster and worked with Ian Dowlings, Denis Leamys, Jerry Flannerys and Barry Murphys. That wrapping in cotton wool doesn't work for me. No player should get a free pass. Form for me is over past few months who's done the job. And yes Leinster could say great these young guys can play. But hell if Jack Conan keeps up his form or VDF. And Sean O'Brien is playing poorly for Ireland then tell me where's the justice there. Yes he's played well in that NZ game but 1 game never earns you that jersey. Bigger question is if fit who'd he keep out? Stander is playing unreal arguably in top 3 8s at club game and equally as good at 6 Van Der Flier is a true 7 and I hate to say it but is a true class act 7 which is needed. Heaslip - Just read Stander comment and change name without the 6 bit. O'Mahony is in superb form and has proven his pedigree with Ireland making a superb impact vs Aus after even longer injury layoff. And there guys like Conan O'Donoghue O'Donnell and Leavy lurking too. All bursting a gut for clubs [/QUOTE]
