Quote: Bilko "O'Carroll has missed 75% of matches injured in the last 2 years so surely this is his last chance to prove himself this year.'"
I think your probably right.
O'Carroll and Paul Prescott seemed to have been battling for a place in the first team for a few years now and both have had their fair share of injuries along the way.
However out of the two and with the amount of injuries O'Carroll has had it was Prescott that really took his chance last season - he was very good at times and Prescotts performance in the semi-final against Leeds was outstanding - he flattened a couple of Leeds defenders that day!
I do hope O'Carroll does get an opportunity in 2011 when he is fully fit but like you say he may benefit from a loan spell playing first team rugby on a regular basis.
