[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 944430, member: 45598"] If Conway goes I'll be sickened, he offers nothing not already covered by better players in Earls and Larmour, he'd be as wasteful a pick as Cave last time around. After Stockdale Adam Byrne was the best wing for any of the provinces this season, include James Lowe in that, he's also the best kickchaser we have. Calling him a Pro14 player when he matched Stockdale and scored the winner in the tightest Heineken Cup semi is a wee bit dim tbh... Not considering him when he offers something so different (and extremely well suited for the type of game Ireland play) for Conway who is far from special and a carbon copy of another guy in the squad would be mental in my opinion. I'd be happy enough with Addison but if you're bringing him I think Farrell becomes a bit of a surplus to requirements. Presuming Joe picks a 45+ man training squad Byrne will of course be in there if fit. If Stander could be considered a 7 it could lead to Ruddock getting selected, that could be good too he's had a strong season. If we go with SOB and Conway I won't have too much hope, it would indicate to me that not many lessons have been learned. [/QUOTE]
