Sam P on that emerging Ireland tour is great long term (see Crowley) but I'd love him to take the reigns in that period.

Still not sold on Frawley as a starter but needs to happen as much as possible.

Is Harry Byrne contracted past this season? Don't really see him or Ross having a place beyond this and next season, both too competent to be 3rd choice 10s but neither good enough to be anything more for Leinster.

I think both Byrnes are out of contract this season but not 100%
 
Starting with JGP and Prendergast anyway. Imagine having to deal with Healy and Slimamim the the scrum for the last 20.

Connacht side is looking pretty decent this year imo. Really decent back three and their pack are looking solid. They had a far better pre-season than us, so its a banana skin right out the gate. Think tomorrow will say a lot about our season. I'm inclined to think it will be a slightly challenging year. Quinn getting the start over AK and JO'D is a big surprise.
 
Poor TOB cannot stay fit. Still young and clearly talented but needs that run of games.
