I would really like a decent second to the 10 position on long term development. Someone closer to Super ready than Lynagh.
But reality is exactly as you say, RR. Stewart and Hegarty are the back ups, presuming we keep them. JOC (James O'Connor) will play 80 other than being rested. I don't see that changing next year and probably longer. Probably through to RWC. So it would waste a talented up and coming 10, and that is if they were interested in a likely non-playing role.
I can't say I'm entirely thrilled about it, but the logical path forward is to build Lynagh in the background and I guess keep an eye on how flyhalfs are going in the Hospital Cup.
