Conway, with emergence of new messiahs in the centres, is probably behind RK, Zebo, Payne, and Henshaw in fullback pecking order

Gilroy out for a few weeks with a fractured eyesocket so hes out
I'd have Tiernan O'Halloran decidedly ahead of Conway as a fullback. I don't really think Conway reaches the standards you'd want from your fullback in terms of positioning or even general decision-making, and his kicking game is completely underdeveloped.

not full list and no Munster/Ulster players (?)
Ulster and Munster have their rearranged European games next week, so are probably exempt from the camp. Does this mean a lot of players will be rested for the trip to Ospreys?

going by the Murray Kinsella pieces Conway's lines of running/use of space not great either

if Olding can stay fit for 5 minutes he might make a play for it, RK wasnt great last night
Retired from babbling. Can be found on twittter @okeeffesimon
