[QUOTE="BPM, post: 1009465, member: 59968"] Way too early to say that. Pretty sure yesterday was his first start since coming back from injury. If he can build back up to his pre-injury form, he’ll be a serious contender, but I don’t think looking good in a big win against Edinburgh’s 3rd XV (I genuinely have only heard of 3 or 4 players in last night’s 23) is much of an indicator. At the point he got injured, I would have had him as almost a certainty, but he was out for pretty much 18mths and during that period, the back row has become much more competitive. I certainly wouldn’t rule him out, but if the tour goes ahead on it’s proposed schedule, he doesn’t have that much time to press his case. He probably needs to be back playing for Ireland by the 6 Nations to be in contention IMO. [/QUOTE]
