[QUOTE="Leinster Fan, post: 982065, member: 76349"] Interesting omissions: Jordi (haven't kept track of his form but always a useful guy to have around, playing all three backrow positions is very handy) A third LH prop John Ryan (not that interesting but a change in the previous order) Marmion (he's been injured but five other players named in his position can hardly be a good sign) Carty (completely deserved on form though) Marshall (not interesting at all actually but had though he might get a look in, especially with only two other dedicated 13s) Rob (probably the right time to move on though) Cronin (hasn't played at all in fairness but also entirely possible wouldn't have been involved anyway) Beirne? (pretty sure he's just injured though) Interesting/noticeable inclusions: Heffernan (can't say I was expecting that, hasn't even been playing that much at Connacht from what I can tell) Kelleher (had to be in) Both Ulster tightheads Roux (thought he might have been on the way out) Both Leinster 8s (Doris was expected, exposing Deegan is good as well) Connors (second best 7 in the country on form for me) Every half-decent scrumhalf in the country except Marmion, and also Conor Murray Burns (easy target but has actually been good and brought on his game this year) McCloskey+Scannell (have my doubts about both but deserved on form) Dev is back! Dave (again playing well) Obviously not definitive but some interesting calls. Great news for the 8(?) uncalled players and the guys like Heffernan and Moore who haven't been around for years though. The three consecutive interpros (and also probably injuries) could change the picture dramatically. [/QUOTE]
