    Hey,

    Into the summer lull with a lack of rugby to discuss so thought this might be interesting.

    The idea is to pick a 23 to win a one-off game of rugby, based on Irish players from the professional era, from when they were at their peak.

    I'm not trying to turn it into inter-provincial squabbling, so pick your own team and provide your own reasons. '

    I'll kick it off:

    1. Cian Healy
    2. Keith Wood
    3. Tadgh Furlong
    4. Paul O'Connell
    5. James Ryan
    6. Sean O'Brien
    7. Josh van der Flier
    8. Jamie Heaslip
    9. Conor Murray
    10. Jonathan Sexton
    11. Denis Hickie
    12. Robbie Henshaw
    13. Brian O'Driscoll
    14. Tommy Bowe
    15. Hugo Keenan

    Reps: Ronan Kelleher, Andrew Porter, Mike Ross, Tadgh Beirne, Stephen Ferris, Peter Stringer, Ronan O'Gara, Keith Earls

    Unluckily lost out: David Wallace, Gordon d'Arcy, Peter O'Mahony, Rob Kearney, Jerry Flannery, Rory Best.
