Players playing in purely progressive positions

WeeBushy

Might be a bit of fun...

Seeing as there seems to be a lot of talk about players being tried out in new positions recently, I thought it'd be fun to make up a team using the WC squad, but no one is allowed to play in any of their normal positions.

15. Sexton
14. Buckley
13. Murphy
12. O'Brien
11. Cronin
10. McFadden
9. Bowe
1. D'Arcy
2. Jennings
3. Heaslip
4. Ferris
5. Leamy
6. Healy
7. O'Driscoll
8. Trimble

Buckley at lock instead of Leamy, I think he could have done a good job there had he started playing rugby in that position. Boss on the wing.

15. Bowe
14. McFadden
13. Trimble
12. Sexton
11. Kearney
10. Wallace
9. O'Driscoll
8. Healy
7. Best
6. Ross
5. Ferris
4. Heaslip
3. O'Brien
2. Court
1. Boss

Is far more realistic.

Would Ross be a dynamic ball carrying 6?

Guy:Incognito

Does switching Healy and Ross around count?

McFadden is handy on the kicking tee. For that reason I'd have to ask you to move him to hooker and have Jenning's be the team's playmaker.

In a somewhat more feasible idea, who covers what in "worst case scenarios" in our 30man squad?

15. Kearney, Earls, Bowe, Wallace, McFadden, Sexton, Boss, Murray
14. Bowe, Trimble, Earls,McFadden, Kearney, Sexton, Boss, D'Arcy
13. BOD, D'Arcy, Earls, Bowe, Trimble, McFadden, Wallace.
12. D'Arcy, Wallace, Sexton, Trimble, Bowe, BOD, SOB
11. Bowe, Trimble, Earls,McFadden, Kearney, Sexton, Boss, D'Arcy
10. Sexton, ROG, Wallace, BOD, D'Arcy, Kearney?
9. Reddan, Boss, Murray,
8. Heaslip, SOB, Leamy, Ferris, Cullen
7. SOB, Ferris, Jennings, Leamy, Heaslip, Cronin, Best
6. Ferris, SOB, Heaslip, Leamy, Ryan, Jennings, Cullen, POC, DOC
5. POC, DOC, Ryan, Cullen, Heaslip, Ferris
4. POC, DOC, Ryan, Cullen, Heaslip, Ferris
3. Ross, Court
2. Best, Cronin, Varley
1. Healy, Court


I refuse to entertain the thought that Buckley should be used in any position in any emergency situation, and instead adopt the French "white flag" tactic if that ever came to pass.

thomond2006

Ross at 12 to get Ireland over the gain line with his barnstorming runs! :pac:

durkadurka

Sexton at 12 surely. Almost a probability at this stage

I think he did start off in the second row, in school anyway.

No, I'm back in college. Same thing I guess

The idea wasn't to be realistic or serious. More 'wouldn't it be gas to see X playing there'.

steve9859

I'd stick Geordan Murphy in at tight head.

Guy:Incognito

A 1, 2 ,3 of Boss, Reddan and Murray. Lets see any other front row get lower.

Jennings will never ever play second row. He's far too small, how's he going to bind with someone like Devin Toner and give a proper shove?

hardCopy

Boss must be the most versatile player in the squad, he seems to be a shoe-in in every fantasy XV.

would yiz all stop, if kidney sees this we're fcuked

Really am ROFLMAO

I think Paddy Wallace would make a great...RALA Best use of his "talents"

How about we just clone SOB and play them at 1-15? or clone the pack and ditch the backs?
