[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 970671, member: 13611"] I don't want to sidetrack the New Zealand demolition of Ireland thread so will reply here [USER=72977]@Reiser99[/USER] Looking at 2023: Loosehead prop will become an area of concerns the provinces have nobody in their ranks in their 20s putting their hands up at the moment as international class. A wildcard could be shifting either Furlong or Porter to 1. Hooker appears to be Niall Scannell's position to lose with Rónan Kelleher taking the Sean Cronin change of pace role. Second row will see James Ryan captain the team. There'll be plenty of options beside him. Backrow will see quite a bit of change. Dan Leavy will be back in the reckoning. If Ireland want to play a wide game, Max Deegan is the most likely 6/8 to hemp them do so. Scrumhalf is a crapshoot. At flyhalf, a lot depends on how Harry Byrne develops. If he develops quickly, expect Joey Carbery to move to 15. Who knows what'll happen in the outside backs and midfield. ............................. There's a lot to be said for picking in the moment and to hell with the next world cup. Nobody can legislate for the injury and suspension woes Ireland suffered in 2015 and we've just seen where a grand plan building 2019 got Ireland. Pick on form. [/QUOTE]
