[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 983700, member: 39240"] Jack is coming back from a serious knee injury. He has had a great last 2 weeks but hadn't done enough. On the locks I'd disagree. Billy has been playing very well and deserved spot. But we haven't played youth there as we don't have alot. Like Leinster will have a better pick due to more schools at a higher level. Like if you look at lock we are extremely light and it is easy to break in there. Wycherley was doing that and would've been in 23 if fit. But even then he is very small for a lock. Bs Leinster at Christmas Leinster had 4 forwards I think taller than our tallest. Like there is a side here people forget. For some positions it's fine saying throw youth in but realistically the youth is not there. Like another side of it is how many Munster prospects have went away and forged ahead too. Off the top of my head Conor Fitzgerald is the only one I'd say. So that shows maybe some are not good enough. Like Larkham and Rowntree will judge better after this season and both have had to learn with squad rotation restrictions and World Cup hampwring a clear pre season to implement plans. Add in a few of our older lads are bang off form and JJ is not a European 10. We had handicapped blinkers on us from start so it was always uphill. As in Snoop I'd ask do you follow Munster Schools or even AIL. You'd see there bery few options there [/QUOTE]
