Lesson to Keith Earls.Meanwhile, the versatile Fergus McFadden revealed yesterday, at the Ulster Bank Rugby Force club initiative, he asked Leinster coach Joe Schmidt to consider him in one position this season, with a view to enhancing his international prospects.
“I just said at the start of the year to Joe I’m just looking for consistent play, whether it’s on the wing or in the centre.”
Schmidt obliged by selecting him on the wing, more often than not, with Ireland also utilising him out wide during the November internationals.
In other words, I like 12 the most, but I recognise that there is a lot of talent in the squad, and I'm just happy to play anywhere.“My favourite position is 12, it’s in the centre, but the way things have panned out with Leinster over the last couple of years I’ve been mixed and matched and moved in and around.
“I don’t mind that because of the squad of players that we have and the standard of players, naturally it’s going to be tough to get into the team so if I have to adjust for other reasons then I’m happy to do that, as long as I’m playing rugby.
“But I just said to Joe could I get some consistent (rugby), whether it’s on the wing or in the centre, for a few weeks in a row because that’s when you play your best rugby.
