[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 318303, member: 13611"] Ronan's not that young. He's been a professional rugby player for 7 seasons and turns 28 at the start of next season. He's a career backup who's not good enough to step up to international rugby and never will be. I'd love it if he plays brilliantly and I've egg on my face though. Quinlan has been around the block and for all his disciplinary faults, he's still playing pretty well. He's still good for 40 or 50 minutes a game at international level. That's more than Niall Ronan in my opinion and thus Quinlan is unlucky not to be called up for this tour. It wouldn't be a selection with the future in mind but neither is selecting Niall Ronan.
