Did Murphy or the swerve play themselves in to contention.

I didn't get to watch a lot this weekend though I heard geordan Murphy had a good game.

Anybody see either of these 2 being called up for saturday?

Murphy to start at 15 for me. Why move our supposedly best attacker in Bowe to a position he doesn't play regularly. Shoulder injury aside he's been superb for Leicester since gaining the captaincy.

Haven't seen Murphy play since returning from his injury but Dempsey played himslef out of contention last night, maybe he wasn't helped by his team mates but he didn't stand out on a night that he needed to.

Murphy, by alla ccounts, played very well in Leicester's win over Gloucester at the weekend.

I thought he wouldn't be fit enough but I guess he has been able to stay in shape while off.

If he is match fit he should start, but dont know if he has 80 mins international in hime so soon!!

I don't know what you were expecting from him, he caught everything kicked at him perfectly, and chased his own kicks really well.

Are you really trying to say that Dempsey played like an international FB on Saturday - come off it he was light years away from his best.

He was fine, very capable, he just needed to be brilliant to have a chance, and he wasn't brilliant.

I think kidney favours youth every time there'a a 50/50, with one eye on the world cup.
Hence no quinlan or shaggy so far, even though they're playing well.
