    Jennings and Cullen are still 8s, BOD is still an OH/SH, Fitz is still a fullback, so is D'Arcy, etc etc etc.

    a converted 2nd row it does not mean he can still play there

    Played everywhere. A sickeningly good sports player. Table tennis, GAA and soccer too.

    Definitely played games in the SCT at 12 though.

    I don't think we are. Today we played to our current limit and we couldn't win. France played poor and once their A game failed they seemed unable to do anything else. They showed themselves to be limited as well.
    I still think we are physically not big enough in the collision areas. We never have been. We struggle consistently to get over the gainline. The top teams like France, S Africa, N Zealand and even England always have bigger packs than us.

    The French pack was 30kg lighter than ours. They gradually overpower their opposition (who are nearly always heavier) using superior technique.

    at 13.

    earls pro career starts (3 seasons):

    FB by 8 times
    14 by 1 times
    13 by 36 times
    12 by 2 times
    11 by 13 times

    25 heine games . 5 on the wing. 19 in the centre . 1 at fullback.

    only played amlin and magners end of seson on the wing last season . was a centre in the heineken cup. kidney probably told munster to put him on the wing in prep for world cup.

    while i'm at it, on the Lions tour earls played 15 twice and 13 three times. didn't feature as a winger.

    Sorry but that's never been the rule as far as I know.

    If you play the ball in the air your position is decided by where you land first. It was Kearney (I think) and he landed with both feet in touch, meaning he was in touch. Lineout.

    No. From where you take off. If you take off from the field of play you can knock the ball into play and land outside it.

    You would think in that case that he'd have the hang of it by now. 34t90ty.gif
