[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 1117184, member: 39240"] Can't really argue much on Irish team. Team effectively picked itself. Furlong is out so it great to develop depth there with Bealham getting another start. And he is 1 guy really in superb form. On bench it's a bit more meh. Frontrow I'd worry if Bealham goes down early but wonder would Healy be TH prop if that was a scenario. Tom O Toole isn't international level. Henderson is a great man to bring in. Conan has responded well to competition lately but think Coombes and Baird are ahead of him but still splitting hair it isn't as if Conan awful. Murray and Ross Byrne are both correct calls. Murray is effective for Ireland off bench and if it latter stages and we defending he is man I'd want. Byrne is in good form and well it like this if we chasing game I'd prefer Crowley but that is mystic meg. As the basic skills of 10 eg kicking game keeping it simple Ross is the right call. Which leaves me to 23. Bit worried on Aki for few reasons. We left bare in back 3 if an injury happens. I agree Aki rarely lets Ireland down. Worry is he has little to no game time and if any of back 3 go down I presume Ringrose is cover. That is not good for few reasons. 1. Lowe/Mack are not 15s so shouldn't be even considered slotting there. 2. Ross Byrne is not a 15 and will not work there. 3. More importantly Ringrose is vital at centre. Osbourne may have been better choice to go with Byrne. Aki is ok if Jack Crowley was on bench. [/QUOTE]
