Whats not to like? If only you'd listen to my constructive advice. Did you know Epaddies second favourite team is Munster?

Constructive advice? Go on then, tell us what you know about backline play! We're all ears!

Well as I did tell you at the start of the season when you were picking Warner at 10 that Contempomi should be 10. Of course you argued but ultimately I think we can both agree I was correct. Currently I have been advising you to watch for Kearneys suspect defence and poor kicking from hand. Keep an eye on that tomorrow. Anything else?

1. Kearney's suspect defence is not exactly news to be honest.....I was saying that on MF's since he arrived on the scene. As for his kicking from hand - not sure i agree - the guy puts spectacular length on his kicks.....he does miss touch on occasion, I'll give you that, but he kicks for advantage. During the France game, Rog kicked a penalty from just inside the opposition's half and didn't even make the 22.....in fairness I could do that....and it doesn't really help the team....

2. Warner - we don't know whether that would have worked. It was working back then. At that time Felipe was outstanding at center. Really outstanding, so I think it was far from an obvious argument to be honest....

As far as I am concerned 10 is still the key position on the field. He is the guy who gets to decide the moves and dictate the game. It makes sense to have your best player at 10.

Warner was played at 10 to allow a kicking/distrubter option at 12 something Shaggy doesnt have. When BOD came back he could do the IC job as good as anyone allowing FC to move back to 10.

I think he was played there by the new management to see how good he was. Doubt you will see him back at ten unless Pony gets injured.

Or BOD. What I am saying is that Warner was never going to be 1st choice 10. It was due to our injury crisis

Despite that, i was pleasantly surprised by how well Warner did!

http://www.connachtrugby.ie is the official site, so i presume that's how they want it spelt

then again, in a fight between the two...
