    Gareth Edwards on the Lions tour 31 dec 2008:

    "MC: Which players do you think are certainties to tour and which are coming up on the rails?
    GE: Brian O’Driscoll, for sure, who is as strong and elusive as ever. "

    the question we should be asking is who would you play along side O'Driscoll.

    thats going to cause more problems for kidney. I hope fitzgearld is at the very least moved to the wing. He can find more space and be used much better than being used as a battering ram at 12.

    Wallace could play 12, and is looking like the best option we have(Right now) but he'd never find the space with the type of attack the Irish coaching staff insist on using!

    Other options are Darcy & Earls.

    Can this now end for calls to drop him??

    80% of the random punter from the terrace and all coaches he hsa played under in Leinster and Ireland have oicked him.

    I think it is the handfull of people who want him to be dropped are wrong.

    These few must know something that 80% of Jo Blow, EOS, DK, Woodword MC........ etc etc etc must not know, and if they know this info, they really must have some amazing source!:rolleyes:

    Agree with Alexa Kind Stabilizer

    To drop O Driscoll would be insane.

    Some young kid has a couple of good games for Munster and you think he deserves to replace the best player in our side, possibly in the world. Earls is a decent player who has nt even found his correct position, and as good as i think he will be, he will never be the player O Driscoll is.

    Also agree with moving Fitzgerald back to the, that experiment clearly has nt worked, his hands are nt good enough, his kicking is woeful and he just looks uneasy. Get him back on the wing pushing Bowe.

    For all the poeple giving fitz stick aswell,he is the top try scorer in the magners league with 5 tries in 7 games.Thats not a bad record.

    Im pretty sure he was top try scorer last year aswell.I r3eckon if he was playing at fullback or on the wing that number would be 7 or 8.

    I don't think anyone being too harsh on Fitz, just discussing where his best position is. If you look at those tries, he's gotten more than half of them while playing on the wing.

    All have been from the wing as far as I know.
