[QUOTE="big ginger 8, post: 978259, member: 53057"] Wycherley is 6'4" which is why I was hesitant about putting him as a lock. Conan and Henshaw are two I'm probably being somewhat overcautious about. I definitely think they'll rack up caps in the between the world cups but I'm sort of treating them like running backs. Who tend to see a sharp decline after they reach 30. They both have a lot of collisions in a game and Henshaw in particular has quite an injury history. I wouldn't be exactly shocked to see them there. Due to getting is international spot later in his career Conan may also have more miles on the clock. I certainly don't think Frawley will be a Leinster starter at 10 but I can see it at 12 or 15. It really depends on what direction our coaching staff wants to go though. As I said Hawkshaw Is someone I need more proof from simply due to him being pretty undersized (he's listed at 5'10" but I'm dubious) Matt Giteau showed it's not impossible but it is harder. Farrell is a pretty good stop gap but I hope the younger lads have progressed enough by 2023 that we don't need him. Hayley and Addison break the no Sale rule :D. I agree those players will probably be given a lot of chances. I think Sexton is likely to retire after the next Lions tour. Stander is pretty much the prime example of my running back theory, him and Healy are two I'd actually be incredibly impressed if they are able to string top level games together in 4 years. Of course we also have no idea what Farrell's selections will look like and who his favourites will be be. [/QUOTE]
