    I think Johnny O'Connor will travel (he's had a fantastic season at Club level to) and I think O'Callaghan is better than a Dark horse, I also think that Reggie might be a Dark horse.

    Had forgotten about Trevor Brennan, i've not seen him much this season, but reports have been very good.

    Well he's not a guaranteed starter for Toulouse but that's because of squad rotation. Having said that Toulouse would give most international sides a run for their money at present. It would be great if he made the tour but it's hard to see him figuring.

    The tour occasionally throws up major surprises; Colm Tucker 1980 in S.Africa, played in all 3 tests, yet only ever got capped twice for Ireland. John Bentley, just back from league in 1997, straight in to test team.

    Woodward named 3 players a couple of months ago that wouldn't feature in the 6N, but will have a chance of making the tour. Brennan, Dallaglio and Back were the 3 named.
    I'd love to see him make it, then O'Sullivan will surely have to consider him again, he should be starting ahead of Easterby at blindside anyway
