[QUOTE="Leinster Fan, post: 896843, member: 76349"] I think McCarthy could arguably be picked ahead of JGP on form as well as due to the foreigner rule. He'll be wearing 21 regardless of whether or not McGrath makes it. Rock was added to the squad if McGrath doesn't get back and one of the other two gets injured. Most of the team picks itself to be honest. The main questions are who'll join Fardy in the second row (probably Toner as he's gone with him all season), who are the flankers, Leavy and Jordi are the last men standing at the moment but SOB could play if he gets time v the Ospreys and Ruddock has been added to the squad as well although that's presumably with a view to the semis. He's back way ahead of schedule either way which is great. The back three could be anybody but will probably be Kearney, Lowe and Larmour. Don't think Daly or anyone else not in the Ireland squad did enough to force their way in. Some interesting calls on the bench as well. First time we'll be seeing a first XV since mid-December so it'll say a lot about where the squad stands in relation to each other. [/QUOTE]
