Why doesn't stephen ferris play no.8?

i mean can people see where i'm coming from? his ball carrying would surely be suited to no.8 for the irish team? and then peter o mahony can go 6 and sean o brien 7, or the other way around? i'm interested to hear peoples opinions on the irish backrow layouti mean can people see where i'm coming from? his ball carrying would surely be suited to no.8 for the irish team? and then peter o mahony can go 6 and sean o brien 7, or the other way around? i'm interested to hear peoples opinions on the irish backrow layout

When the Irish Back-row is at its best it is menacing! Could put it up to anyone! Also the great thing I see about the back-row is that all of them can play in 6,7,8. Except for Ferris at 7 ! I would love to see this back-row tryed : 6 peter o mahony 7 O'Brien 8 Ferris or maybe o mahony at 8!! Kick heaslip off! that will make him fight for his position again and will make him closer to his good form! Sean O'Brein is finnally turning into a world class 7!
