No matter what your county allegiance, you couldn't help but wish a guy like that well. Interesting that Horan is still saying that they're looking at bringing in a few more new faces and letting some more guys go - you can't but wonder why they weren't there already (barring injury, of course). With probably around a week or so to go before they fly out to NY, the make up of the Championship panel will start to become a lot clearer. I don't see the likes of Cillian, Seamie or any of the casualty list playing in this one, but hopefully we will have a full panel ready for the next game.

Agree that Ruane is nailed on to start, but, it's (hopefully!!) going to be a long summer and anything can happen - as we've seen before. We need everyone fit and ready, they will all be needed at some point.
