It's certainly crazy.
@7 the depth chart is VDF, SOB, TOD, Murphy and Leavy
@6 - Stander, POM, Murphy, Conan, SOB
@8 - Stander, Heaslip, Conan, O'Donoghue

Also I'm convinced Conor Oliver will make step up next season

No mention of the current captain there either!

True. Completely slipped my mind but I struggle to see how all those Leinster guys will stay in contention. I know injuries play a part but hard to see all 6 stay right up there. Persinally I think Ruddock has wasted a bit as he a better player than his standing in Leinster suggests but that the competition he has in front of him

Former Munster coach Rob Penney will be with the Irish squad this week as Joe Schmidt's men use his NTT club for training this week.

Ireland's answer to Champagne Rugby, Dev Toner showing and going in slow motion for 3 metres. Buckfast rugby. Be afraid Rugby world.

Just got around to this, the depth in the Irish back row is ridiculous. The fact that Conan, Murphy and JVDF wouldn't make a full strength 23 baffles me.

And yet Ulster can barely form a decent irish back row, share your lads around

We just dont breed them too well for some reason , but some bright schools prospects with potential for now, maybe in a few years we'll have some useful lads around
