[QUOTE="Leinster Fan, post: 930833, member: 76349"] I love Rhys but is he tall enough? 6'3" according to Wikipedia which isn't really enough. I don't think we'd get away with it at this level. I'd wouldn't mind to see Dillane start as he's shown promise at this level before. Not sure what Schmidt sees in Roux to be honest. I'd imagine that O'Mahony will call the lineout anyway. Going on past selections Aki/Henshaw is the most likely centre partnership. Which is going to lead to a beyond uninspiring attacking performance. No one in that backline (except for Stockdale) is going to create anything unless Murray and Sexton suddenly rediscover form (which admittedly wouldn't surprise me at all). I think Farrell's performances against Wales and Argentina last year should earn him first crack but then again we leaked tries in those games and Aki/Henshaw might be the best option defensively which should be a priority against Scotland.
