So who goes? You decide

So having attended Ireland v France today, I left wondering who exactly will make the final cut let alone a starting 15. Here's a few thoughts on who I think is in the running.


  1. Ciaran Healy. Worrying that he left the field injured.He tried to hide it but think something more serious there.If he can't travel we haven't many options left at loose head.Would have to be Tom Court as I can't see Buckley managing loose head.
  2. Jerry Flannery.If he can get match fit could be a contender.Offers more ariund the oitch than Best.
  3. Mike Ross. Only one option here.Don't see any other back up which is a concern.Maybe the management should have looked at more options in pre season.Jamie Hagan?
  4. O'Callaghan will get the nod here even though he only plays best with O'Connell beside him.
  5. O'Connell.No debate.
  6. O'Brien.
  7. AN Other.I think Wallace is carrying more than a tight hamstring.Could be an exposure here as Jennings hasn't had time to get back to his best.
  8. Heaslip.Heaven forbid he gets injured!
  9. Reddan on basis that O'Leary is a liability after today's showing.Shame Sweeney wasn't discovered sooner.
  10. Sexton.The great out-half debate of this decade carries on.Interesting that Sexton moved to 12 when Darcy went off.
  11. AN Other.Maybe the next game will see someone put their hand up for this position.Earls and Fitzgerald just not inspring confidence here.
  12. Darcy to get the nod but McFadden to be given a chance in midfield.
  13. O'Driscoll.
  14. Trimble will selected here but did spend a lot of time going sideways today.
  15. Kearney depending on groin injury.Jones did well to a point but injury means he could miss the flight.Opportunity here for Geordan Murphy maybe?
