[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 849310, member: 39240"] Issue I'd say on guys like Heaslip are that as you say they need to stay sharp so will go. Ryan your correct on. On Backrow I think Jack O'Donoghue is well ahead of Ruddock in Schmidts thinking. He's benefiting from playing in the big games and being in camp. Also I think Ruddock is victim of pool of back rows. He's played well last few games but has been outshone by Leavy or VDF depending on which game. Jack hasn't been superb BUT is better positioned and don't think Ruddock has done enough to move him. It's a pity as Ruddock is good enough but will never get there being 7th choice when everyone is fit. Ryan hasn't signed for Racing yet. If he stays he tours if it gets finalised he's omitted. On centres. Chris Farrell was partly brought back by Schmidt. He may tour. I think Kearney is nowhere near Lions contention and has too many injuries. I think A Byrne deserves to go. Especially as Zebo and O'Halloran are FBs and again Conway will go too I feel. [/QUOTE]
