[QUOTE="Leinster Fan, post: 935994, member: 76349"] Ryan is definitely the better scrummager but his scrummaging isn't that good at international level that it should be earning him spots in 23s. Porter's scrummaging is average at best but he regularly locks down the scrum against far more experienced props. Ryan is very capable of giving scrum penalties away off the bench, he had one last time against Italy, he could (probably should) have cost is the game against the French last year. He was behind Archer at Munster last year, he's an excellent club scrummager but nothing more than that. If Porter gets anywhere near his potential he'll be a far superior player (and arguably already is). But overall I agree this is a good selection by Schmidt. [/QUOTE]
