[QUOTE="Leinster Fan, post: 956995, member: 76349"] Kelleher is worth fast tracking really, Cronin isn't getting any younger and neither Tracy or Byrne are potential long term starters. Leinster have struggled to produce hookers for a long time (our best in recent times have been from South Africa and Limerick). Baird is clearly very highly rated, with the options we already have at lock he wouldn't be brought so fast otherwise. Making his debut last year shows that. Three potential future lions in that backrow as well, Deegan is too good for the Pro14 now, fully expect him to make the Ireland squad for the Six Nations. How Harry Byrne's development is handled will be interesting. He's really talented but his position (admittedly old and injury prone) club captain, an established and trusted backup in his older brother, and another talented young guy in Frawley. He's too good not to get a lot of time this year though and Cullen and Lancaster are masters at bringing young guys through so you'd imagine it'll work itself out. [/QUOTE]
