[QUOTE="Peat, post: 381646, member: 42330"] I've been wondering about this. In Kidney's shoes, I'd be tempted to throw him on the bench for England. And its not just a case of blooding young talent, I'd say Gilroy is the form wing in Ireland. He can't stop scoring and seems to have no weaknesses but inexperience. I can't think of an Irish player I'd rather hand a one on one scoring opportunity to at the moment and his support running is the closest thing I've seen to Ashton's. And while you know Kidney won't take him, if he keeps going like this, thats going to look slightly mad. I know Ireland have plenty of talented wingers. But right now, none of them are anything like as dangerous as Gilroy. I know he's playing against worst players while outside more dominant players. I know you've got to question whether he's got the physicality (although just rewatched him handoff a prop), the mentality, whether it might be too early and scar such a prospect... but Kidney would be mad to at least not seek opportunities to try and answer those questions. Because he is just ******* lethal. Gilroy for Ireland. On second thoughts, maybe don't try him against England, I want a Grand Slam... [/QUOTE]
