That's the frustrating thing.
They're dripping with talent, you know.
They've got two new wingers now, like, you know, Kenny and O'Brien, who are tearing it up, you know.
Well, I think what he'll look for is he'll look for who's the 10 and take all the names out of it.
Who's the guy at the moment that gives the team more stability in attack and defence?
Because the way we play the game, so much of what Ireland do comes through the 10 because it was Johnny Sexton and we are trying to replace him.
So if you weigh it up, I think the third thing is if it comes down to who's going to kick the crucial penalty with five minutes to go.
On the penalty front, Harry Burns got the edge on the other two boys.
His kicking was more reliable and I think it was interesting he stepped up against Laura Shell to make that kick.
He wanted it.
He knew he had to make it.
He puts his name on the ticket by doing that.
It was a big discussion.
I think the attack side, the defense side of things, I put Crowley and Burner solid.
I think the vulnerability is around Prendergast.
He's going to be targeted.
It's not that he doesn't throw his body on the line, but it's just physically he gets overrun.
And then an attack, the most creative of the three is Prendergast.
So, like, they all tick one box.
None of them tick all three.
