He has no 'recent form'. He had a good thirty minute hit out which showed he will hopefully be able to pick up where he left off in the 2014 6N.
I think he will be selected but it won't necessarily be a 'form' pick.

Buck, I hope you don't mind me adding, to say anyone "owns" an international shirt is as crass as it is wrong.
That said I don't trust FibberJoe on selection, least of all after today's travesty of an international back line.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.
Guys like Boss and D'Arcy have been hanging on hoping for one last jolly at the RWC. This process must be about identifying players who are past the point of even being backups to the backups.
I have a terrible fear for POC, that after his summer break, he may struggle to get back up to speed. There comes a time when, with the best will in the world, your body just won't get back to where it was.

First paragraph on the money but don't worry about Paulie, if he wills it, it will happen, worry about the other 22.

I have the same fear for everyone still playing at his age. A great player can age very quickly before our eyes on an international rugby pitch.
I remember when it happened to me.......it was shocking.............

WRONG!
Do some reading before you write, Rum. Just for a bit of variety. If not, your views on everything from rugby to individual freedoms of identity and sexuality will swiftly come to resemble those of an extra from "Off the Buses" . . .
