[QUOTE="Smurfy, post: 1131122, member: 85743"] I was hugely impressed with the Munster back three with Haley in particular having a standout game, but I think JOB has the back up to Keenan deservedly sewn up, especially given his versatility. However, I think Daly must be a serious contender for the last back three slot, with Larmour way less than convincing and Stockdale not having a lot of opportunities to shine. Daly was superb yesterday, is big and quick with a big boot, and very strong defensively, as well as having been in camp regularly. I also wonder if Kleyn has moved himself up the ranking with his form recently. Second row isn’t a position of strength for us, with Henderson unconvincing and McCathy, who has huge potential, still finding his way. He didn’t look up to it when he was called up at the last RWC but his form has been consistently good in the second half of this season and he was again excellent on Saturday. For all Coombes superb form I’m not sure he can get past Conan, but I’d like to see Hodnett get a bit of time in camp because we have no real back up to VdF other than Penny, and I’m not fully convinced that he has the quality for international rugby. I’m also not sure how Hodnett’s game would transfer to international rugby, but he keeps putting in motm performances for Munster so he has to be worth a look. Not sure if there should be any further discussion of the back up 10 after Saturday, with Crowley again looking like he has all the goods. Van Graan should be taken out and shot for the way he mishandled Crowley, as well obviously as so many other things he made a horlicks of. [/QUOTE]
