[QUOTE="Peat, post: 557987, member: 42330"] Right now the only nailed on touring forward from Ireland is Healy. Best will probably go due to a lack of other options, but if he was trying to play his way off the plane he couldn't have done a better job. O'Brien will probably go, but its a heavily stocked position and he's done a fair few stupid things. They should be the only three. I'm incredulous that Ryan's name is mentioned for the gig at all, he's pretty much as culpable for the lineout failures as Best and has done little around the park. But then, I feel its hard lines for a lot of them, as in a better coached outfit maybe it would have happened. Or maybe with less injuries. But that was such a lame duck ending I'm not sure that would have helped. Still - to end on a positive note - I feel Gilroy's answered a lot of questions about his defence this tournament. [/QUOTE]
