around the tight burn James Ryan I think Joe McCarthy was stable can you put tight burn or James Ryan into that second row and maybe tight burn and put someone dynamic into six that's possibly an area that we could go after I don't want to say do you possibly wait into the centre because I think to be fair the centres are

but I think we need someone who's going to just control the game.

Klosky at his best, I think, is what we need back.

I don't think he's had his... He's had good and bad in the last two weeks.

He's had errors with a lot of good play.

You know, I don't think he's been consistent in his high play.

He's had penalty counts and stuff along with that.

I think Jamie Osborne isn't a bolter, but finding his real position, it could be a key to unlocking it as well because I don't know what his position is.

Is it Hugo Keane into the wing to allow him to play there?

Or is...

Is that moving one of your best players to facilitate someone else?

I'm not sure.

Who do you think, by the way?

I think a fitter and more consistently fit Rob Ballacoon gives us a different dimension.

Of course, I just think we're less predictable or harder to tackle when you've got a Matt Hanson, Rob Ballacoon, who are playing week in, week out alongside a Hugo Keenan or whatever.

I don't think we're going to get the Bryn Ward, Sean Jansen kind of answers unless Ireland have more confidence over their line-up because otherwise we're going to be picking Ty Byrne at six probably or someone who's going to help the line-up in the back row, you know, because...

Bryn Ward and Sean Danson aren't going to help that line out so and then you've got to bring Caelan Dorris back into the mix as well with Jack Conan who seems to always lose out despite being a Lions test starter so I'm not sure we're going to get the answer but I'd love someone to give Andy Farrell no choice I don't know how they're going to do that but we'll stick with Bryn Ward for your clip anyway

I don't give a you know I don't give a I don't give a shit attitude about him as well but I think that's what we're we're missing at the moment is someone to kind of break them out the game breakers it can come anywhere but like Paddy McCarthy with the prop is physically unreal Joel McCarthy does it in the second row Sean Jansen Bryn Ward just breaking the game up and that's where when Stuart McCluskey gets the set piece delivery he does it as well maybe that's the reason he hasn't been very consistently doing it and his offloading game didn't come into it as much

and Rob Ballacoon getting around contact like you look at a spine of players that could bring an aspect of breaking up your game and I think Jamie Osborne has the physical profile to do that from a centre perspective but very hard to drop obviously Stuart McCluskey like I've just said or Gary Ringrose I know he just he keeps the thing together I think people would kind of criticise Gary Ringrose his game too quickly because I'm sure being on the pitch with him you'd feel or coaching him you'd feel a lot different about it but

I think Jamie Osborne in midfield with that physicality, I wouldn't like to be against him either.
