What would be your country 31 man squad for the rugby world cup 2023 guys
 
I wanna play this game...

1. Mako, Genge, Marler
2 Sinckler, Stuart
3. George, LCD

4/5. Itoje, Launchbury, Kruis, Ewels

6. Curry, Curry
7. Willis, Underhill,
8. Dombrant, Earl

9. Robson, Spencer
10. Ford, Simmonds
11. May, Coka
12. Farrell, Slade
13. Marchant, Lawrence
14. Watson, Thorley
15. Daly, Mallins

Hill, Billy, Mitchell, Nowell all on standby. If Manu is fit and firing at 32 then he would be in too. But i'm excluding him for now.
 
Fine, I guess I'll bite because I'm bored and have nothing better to do.

LH: Josh Wycherley, Eric O'Sullivan (tempted to put Harry Noonan but wary of picking two guys yet to play senior rugby)
Hooker: Ronan Kelleher, Dan Sheehan, Dylan Tierney-Martin
Tighthead: Furlong, Porter, Tom O'Toole
Locks: James Ryan (C), Ryan Baird, Iain Henderson, Thomas Aherne
Back Row: Caelan Doris, John Hodnett, Will Connors, Dan Leavy, Fineen Wycherley
Scrum Halves: Craig Casey, Caolin Blade (JGP if we take 3)
Out halves: Harry Byrne, Ben Healy, Joey Carbery/Ross Byrne (depends if and how well Joey plays again)
Centres: Henshaw, Tommy O'Brien, Ringrose, Stewart Moore
Winger: Jacob Stockdale, Jordan Larmour, Robert Baloucoune, Aaron Sexton, Hugo Keenan

Maybe a bit optimistic about the amount of young talent we'll be able to bring through given the current selection policy but with coaching teams in Leinster and Ulster that actively promote youth and with Munster finally seeming to realise that their academy exists (and doing very well because of it) I'm hopeful that we'll see a much needed overhaul in the squad over the next while.
