Murphy playing under EOS was like a race horse sent out to pull a cart. Every creative instinct he has was stifled by an ultra conservative game plan.

Lets see how he does under a different coach

Murphy is on because we are playing England and Wilkinson will kick at the back 3 all afternoon when the ball is behind the Irish 10 m line and Earls is far to inexperienced to face Wilkinson period

DKs big mistake in selection in my opinion is O'Leary but given the age of RoG and the need to give Sexton experience against big backrows and the conservative manner of change it has some logic. some on the board have made the comment they believe O'Leary's selection is because Redden may not be up to the task defensively if that were the reason then Redden shouldn't be on the bench .
2B or not 2B that is the question ?
