[QUOTE="Leinster Fan, post: 930498, member: 76349"] Technically he could be picked, it'll never happen though. Sexton had a whole load of things in his favour, obviously he was by far and away our best 10 in a way that Zebo isn't at 15, as well as that he had a clause in his contract saying that Racing had to release him for more or less everything internationally (for example he didn't go back to play for them during rest weeks in the Six Nations), and he was and still is Schmidt's favourite player and the perfect player to implement his gameplan. Zebo is none of those things. Him and Joe don't give the impression of liking each other at all and the way he was dropped from the squad after his move was announced even though he was still in Munster showed that Joe was glad to be rid of him imo. Tbh if we're looking at ex-Munster players at Racing Donnacha Ryan is far more likely to end up in green again. (There's even a decent argument for him to start next week if Toner is injured because Roux and Dillanne aren't really at that level). [/QUOTE]
