If you had to even guess what the chink is...

for Zach Ward I think elements of his kicking game mainly I think if you're looking at the left wing spot Andy Farrell values the left footed kicking option hugely that's why I think if James Lowe was to go down I think Jacob Stockdale would be a no brainer to slot him in there as well as he's been playing he also has that left footed kicking option I think you've seen

You've seen that as well with Jamie Osborne.

That's why Andy Farrell has been keen to play him at fullback.

Might not be his best position, but it gives you that left-footed kicking option as well.

So I think there's elements of that that maybe is why Zach Ward, in Farrell's mind, but that's been real nitty-gritty.

Yeah, I think I don't even think you need to say too much more.

I think Stuart McCluskey has been excellent.

You've seen he was picked for that Chicago game.

Unfortunate that he picked up the injury.

And he has played very well for Ireland every time he's been selected.

And finally, his moment has come.

Where are you on number 10?

I just need a name.

I don't even want to talk about it.

Just who?

Well, Harry Byrne getting a recall, I know it was sort of well flagged, but it's still, it's big, you know.

Andy Farrell spent so much in November bigging him up and now he has a chance to pick him for Paris if that's the way he wants to go.

I wouldn't be surprised if Andy Farrell doubles down by picking Sam Prendergast.

I don't think Jack Crowley has done his case properly.
