Next NIQ

[Silverstu]

He is a second row surely?

So was Matt McCullough and he was a very solid 6.

I think he played 8 at school too.

He is a second row surely?

The U20's used him almost exclusively as a 2nd row for his (16?) caps.

10 starts as 2nd row
4 as replacement 2nd row
1 as replacement 8*
1 as replacement 11*
* but where did he line out in those games?

Fair enough looks the business anyhoo

[ruckover]

I think the idea will be to play Henderson at 6 a lot next season, Birch at 7 and probably Diack at 8. Bring them all up as direct back up to Fez, Chad and Roger. Henderson looked very good tonight, surprised he hasn't featured more.

He's a lock.

Giving him a few games at 6 will do him no harm, but I'd expect him to replace Muller whenever he retires.

I thought you would have Luke Marshall replacing Muller when he retires, to get him in the team, give him the arm band too!

Any more on our NIQ?

[ruckover]

It'll be Stevenson replacing Muller when he retires. If we were planning on bringing up Henderson as a lock then I think he should have been playing there last night. The fact that he didn't makes me think he is a replacement for Ferris instead.

Stevenson is a squad player and thats it.

He was garbage tonight.

Yes Hugh, a 5ft 11' centre will replace a 6ft 8' lock.

I wouldnt bother ruck. Big Al has already taken great offence at me mentioning what I'd seen rumoured about Henderson possibly playing in the back row a few weeks ago!

If you're good enough you're old enough. Little Luke has a lot of growing still to do

So who is our new NIQ?

Surely Humph would have told Quinner, Popey, the bald leinster hooker or the Limerick hosty man tonight - so Mulligan doesn't break it via justin beiber

[breakdown]

Henderson will cover 6, and Stevenson will be Mullers replacement. I thought Stevo had a good game!

You called him lightweight and too short, without actually seeing him play.

And if Stevenson replaces Muller we're in trouble. He's an honest grafter and no more.

If you want to argue, you might want to check out my posts to see what ive actually said.

The words "lightweight" and "too short" feature in none of them.

[Big-al]

You said he was too short for a lock and would get blown away, or words to that effect.

I remember the conversation well, basically, you made an Brennan out of yourself.

Again, I said neither of those.

And if you did take the time to look back, you would see that right now, its you making an ass of yourself.

Infact I can even help you out . . . I said, he's a big lad but is he ever going to have the 6'6 6'7 frame we need in the second row. You then went onto a rant about how much of a hard man he is.....

Looked good tonight, but a hard man, I think now.
