Kearney at full back seems to be the 'safe' choice of what Schmidt is used to. I don't think it is reflective of how he has been playing recently. Hasn't been the top of his game for quite some time! And this is from a Leinster fan.

love how the bandwagoners are whinging about Kearney starting at 15 & haven't a clue what they're saying

Great news on Carbury on the bench against all Blacks , in his 1st year as a Leinster academy player. Well deserved!

jesus Schmidt, I hope you know what you're because I haven't a clue. the best full back in the country playing centre and the worst fullback in 15 shirt.

Ryan & Bambie second row, great choice they work really well together
