Based on what I have seen so far my pick for the test side would be
15. Rob Kearney
14. Tommy Bowe
13. Brian O'Driscoll
12. Brian D'arcy
11. Shane Williams
10. Ronan O'Gara
9. Mike Philips
8. Jamie Heaslip
7. David Wallace
6. Martyn Williams
5. Paul O'Connell
4. Nathan Hines
3. Phil Vickery
2. Ross Ford
1. Gethin Jenkins
Tough one was Heaslip over Powell but I think he shades it.
feel free to discuss

Ger,
is Roberts injured, thought he was a lock in for number 12 ? Thought Gethin Jenkins got a mauling mid week, has he got any competition ?

Number 12 was an emotional pick TBH - however Jenkins is the only front row forward that can clear out the mauls and that is what we require right now.

I think your 15 is pretty close, I expect Roberts to get the nod for number 12

Roberts has to play if fit,no way Ford starts as hooker his throwing in at line outs is poor. Cant have Hines either.Moyne starts on the wing for me in place of williams ,who has looked out of sorts on the tour so far.

Ok emotional pick prob wrong and I agree with Roberts, However I think Hines has the agressive game required for the springbox as has Ford whose all round mobility was good when he came on today. His throw in might be suspect but he will have O"connell & Heaslip to aim at and that will make a big diff. Jury is out on Moyne IMO, if I had to chose another I would pick Luke Fitz.

The only thing that Moyne will give us is more of a physical presence, I"d go with Williams he could be the match winner, not many of them about and he can turn a game.
