[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 919732, member: 39240"] Things I'd say. Based on form Kilcoyne is ahead of McGrath the past few months. Rory Best is under huge pressure as our other hookers are on form. Niall Scannell neing taken off at half time may signal he will play a bit next week. Cronin is the best 16 in world rugby. Porter may in my eyes have cemented the 18 jersey. He has pulled away from Ryan and Bealham the last few weeks. Beirne and Ryan are the best locks. Toner still has a role but as a squad player. Henderson now has a real fight on too. POM will always start in NR due to lineout and standing in squad. Schmidt is hige fan of CJ and SOB but thing is there is about 7 options there and none of these really weaken it if called on. 9. It is what it is. Murray miles agead of rest. And rest are ranked based on what day it is. 10. Joey showed he is getting up there. Hes no Sexton but is now confident as a 10 more so as he is a general of a team and that brings its own confidence. Centre is still a worry. Not due to individuals but more trying to cement a solid duo at this level that click offensively. Back 3 really still are settled. Earls and RK are not going to be dropped. Stockdale is a finisher. And well Larmour really only other guy who I think will challenge them. Rest are solid options but wont break in to 23. [/QUOTE]
