But contrary to most of the team, I think he's in lack of gametime.. Make Browne start away in England is maybe a bit premature


They did it with JHW. Not really sure if that helps my point or not but I thought I'd mention it anyway. :lol:

Like the team but would have Browne in at 6 as he could still be an option in the line-out and let Kearney replace one of the boys on 60 mins. Kearney is an important player now and needs some protection also.

that's why it's a good idea to associate the three of them and sideline Muldoon in the same time (+ Kearney already played n°6 this year, even against Clermont, that's maybe here Pat sees him now, alternating with lock "à la Browne")

The most important issue for me is to try and get the lineout in shape. So in that respect Kearney has to come back in. Thought Roux and Muldowney were decent in general play yesterday but the lineout didn't function. Who to go with at 2 is the issue. Carty has been backed at 10 so will start. Ronaldson may have picked up a slight knock so interesting to see if he'll be fit.

To throw our best team against La rochelle was unnecessary
To throw it against Exeter with already 5 points away to Bayonne would have been useless

BUT with the "Indians" chiefs defeated, there, we have a real chance to qualify
So don't vanish, please, because I suggest our best team, just for once :lol:
For me it's :

15. Darragh Leader
14. Danie Poolman
13. Robbie Henshaw
12. Dave McSharry
11. Matt Healy
10. Craig Ronaldson
9. Kieran Marmion
1. Denis Buckley
2. Dave Heffernan
3. Nathan White ©
4. Quinn Roux
5. Aly Muldowney
6. Mick Kearney (Muldoon rested now, 8 games in a row is too much, and Kearney has more to offer here this time)
7. Willie Faloon
8. Eoin McKeon

Replacements:
16.Jason Harris-Wright
17. Ronan Loughney
18. Rodney Ah You
19. Andrew Browne
20. George Naoupu
21. Ian Porter
22. Jack Carty
23. Niyi Adeolokun
