[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 908785, member: 39240"] Well more another 8 should start, but as I think Schmidt doesn't fully fancy Conan I think he would go with Murphy at 8. I wouldn't be upset if Stander is dropped as I think he is a bit burnt out even though he has played well. Same for James Ryan. He would want to be careful of doing a long-term injury. But back on Conan, I get the impression Irish set-up don't rate him as highly and well see him as a viable option now but in a fully fit squad he is not there and in Leinster in next year or 2 he isn't as high up the pecking order. On the other hand Schmidt is a big fan of Jordi and well has mentioned him as playing time at 8 in white next year. Also Heaslip did mention about Conan being too wide a player and while still learning he needs to develop a tighter mindset and to mix it up. Now I not 100% sure on what he meant but I presume it is a mixture of Heaslip offering advise and knowing what has been given to Conan to develop. [/QUOTE]
