[QUOTE="How bad boy, post: 7144468, member: 3028"] Still, good times. Ireland are definitely a worse team without Sexton. Carbery is decent enough, not enough presence to drive play like Sexton. It's a shame that, while he has 37 caps, far too many of them are 5 minutes at the end of games. If he stays fit over the next year and is given the start for a couple of 6 nations matchs, I think Ireland will have a good second choice option. It's a shame Jack Crowley is only really properly emerging now and is second/third choice at Munster. If I was in the Ireland camp, I'd be pushing to get Crowley starting a good few European matches at 10, with Carbery at 15, giving some extra cover there too. Thankfully Jimmy O'Brien looks handy enough, so might be a desperately needed backup to Keenan. With Finlay Bealham putting in some good performances, Ireland have at least some decent replacements. That said, if Porter, Furlong, Sexton and Keenan are injured, Ireland are fucked. Gibson-Park is close enough to that group too, Murray is sloooowww and Casey isn't quite there yet. Shame Doak hasn't been given much of a run. [/QUOTE]
