Tour to Argentina

Post by Cianostays »

36 Man Squad for the Summer Tour. We'll need a strong enough squad but there are some players I'd like to see left at home and give them a chance to put their feet up. For me that list includes Healy, Ross, PO'C, Strauss and Sexton.

Loose Head: McGrath, Kilcoyne, J Cronin
Hooker: Best, Cronin, Varley (assuming Sherry wouldn't be fit)
Tight Head: Moore, Archer, Fitzpatrick
Second Row: Toner, Tuohy, Ryan, Henderson
Blindside: PO'M, Rudddock
Openside: Henry, TO'D
8: Heaslip (c), Murphy
Scrum Half: Murray, Reddan, Marmion
Out Half: Jackson, Madigan, JJ
Inside Centre: Marshall, D'Arcy
Outside Centre: Henshaw, Cave
Wing: Trimble, Bowe, Earls, McFadden
Fullback: Rob K, Zebo.
The sport that unites Catholic, Protestant and dissenter has had its day of days. Pity anybody who can't enjoy it. Some day.

Surely Strauss of all people needs to go on this tour.

I'd be wary about him for the rest of the campaign. Perhaps that's me being overly cautious but I'd rather bring him back into the fold fully for pre-season. As for the others, we need to see what other players can do whilst giving some of the senior personnel a rest.

If Jack is out then Michael Bent will likely get a call up.
Wouldn't be surprised if Keatley get's a call up either.
Will Marshall even be considered? D'Arcy needs a break. So Joe may have to look at JJ and McFadden at IC or Madigan or Keatley or Jackson even.
Mirror, Mirror on the Wall who's the greatest player of them all? It is Drico your majesty.

Not sure we'll bring 36 players for a two match tour.
