Irish Backrow selections for New Zealand tour

Pick six

Ferris, O'Mahoney, Heaslip and O'Brien are certainties.

Henry and Jennings make up the six for me.

Coughlan is unlucky to miss out and Wallace hasn't played enough.

I would take Ruddock over jennings but otherwise I agree with rodders

Ferris, POM, SOB, Heaslip, Jennings and Ruddock are mine.

Surprised at the calls for Ruddock. He's been the least impressive of the 9 this season (bar Wally who's been injured) by a distance.

He has the potential rodders and could be around for a long time. Give him the tour and see what he does

I went Ferris, POM, Heaslip, SOB, Henry and Ruddock

I think Henry has been quite impressive this season and think youth should be given a shot here.

Sadly no wally.

Ferris, O'Mahony, O'Brien as our first choice trio. With Henry, Jennings and Heaslip as back up.

Henry has in my mind been a revelation and again i wasnt convinced he would make our starting backrow over faloon this season!!

Henry has looked really good but at the same time so has Jennings. Jennings has proved he isn't up to it.

To me it was always between Jennings and Henry with Ruddock being taken purely as an investment for the future.

I have picked Jennings over Henry because i honestly feel he is the better player

I went with Ferris, O'Mahoney, O'Brien, Heaslip, Jennings and Henry.

Do you think there is need to bring Jenno and Henry?

Ruddock hasn't had a good season but it may be wise to bring him as one for the future

Unfortunate for Ryan been injured for the majority of the season as if he had gotten games i reckon he would be going instead of ruddock or whoever the 6th choice backrower is.

Kevin Mclaughlin deserves a mention too. Hes had a great season and has been a bit of an unsung hero for Leinster.

He's not as eye catching as a few of Irelands other backrowers but he's an excellent player and in very good form.

Ferris, O'Mahony, O'Brien, Heaslip, Jennings and Henry.

With Wallace having looked off the pace, doesn't feel like our options are as good there as in previous years.

Really don't understand the calls for Ruddock. One for the future? O'Mahony is 22. O'Brien's 25 and Ferris is 26. Let's worry about the here and now.
