Apart from my Keatley faux pas, my point still strands about Conan and Madigan, they were both awful on Friday.
The game completely passed Conan by, we saw nothing of the player he showed in his P{ro12 excursions for Leinster..
And Madigan's game management was absolutely awful (again), it had nothing to do with Marmion whose general play was fine. But he would have been helped by more effective performances by the players inside and outside him.
I'm delighted he'll be available for the Scarlet's game, but disgusted at the same time with Schmidt that he has reverted to Boss with a RWC less than a year away..There is absolutely nothing to be learned from Boss getting game time at the weekend, and barring catastrophic injuries to Reddan and Murray he wont get a minutes play at the RWC, (not because I don't think Boss hasn't anything to offer, just that Joe won't use him)....
