[QUOTE="Hanley!, post: 889510, member: 77015"] I'm a big fan of Murray Kinsella's analysis. I've been calling for Schmidt to explore other options at 15 for two years now, but the article does a good job of outlining what Kearney brings to the team. It's still a balanced view, as he also talks about Kearney's shortcomings on kick return. His clearances have left a little to be desired lately too, with half of the tries we've conceded in the tournament so far coming partially as a result of a poor kick by Kearney. Honestly, if Zebo is being ruled out (and I completely agree with that decision) then Kearney is probably our best option at full back currently. I'm just not sure he's still at the level required for us to succeed at a World Cup, whereas I think someone else might get there with enough test experience. [/QUOTE]
