ANDY FARRELL ’S BENCH selection was analysed by James Tracy and Murray Kinsella on the latest episode of Rugby Weekly Extra, the podcast for subscribers to The 42.
“It is different coming off the bench. Obviously, there’s a merit in experience, don’t get me wrong. But having players that are usually starters on the bench… I’m not saying that they can’t do it but there’s guys who have done that job really effectively for the last season or two who are going to miss out,” Tracy continued.
“Personally, I would have gone with Craig Casey, and I probably would have had Ryan Baird in there as a personal preference, just as that explosive bench player that you’re talking about. “When things are kind of frenetic and you’re heading into the last quarter and there’s been loads of changes, it can be a disrupted time. Murray’s quite a calm presence and astute decision maker , so that’s my sense of it.
