Lions tour to Australia

Leinster confirm the Doris injury and that surgery has been scheduled for this week. I'd imagine that's him out of the Lions tour entirely. He was a shoo in to be a test starter and maybe captain the your as well. Feel so bad for him.

Just saw this posted on another site. The guardian paper, predicted rugby squads..

Interestingly no-one is picking Prendergast. Can't disagree, though he is an incredibly skilled player any decent team will exploit his defensive frailties successfully. He needs to at least become a speed bump before he can be regarded a serious test ten.

The media and social media has done a bit of a 180 with Prendergast. It's one extreme to the other. I'm not a Leinster fan (not Munster either) and have felt since the start of the year that Crowley should have been starting in the 6Ns, but some of the stuff about Prendergast over the last few days has been ridiculous.

He may yet make the squad tomorrow as I think F.Smith and Russell are nailed on, but the third spot is wide open and Prendergast did start at 10 in a Triple Crown winning team. Its definitely one to look out for.

They've had some nice jerseys in the past, but just not a fan of that current one…

Anything more than 12 would be a very good return. I'd put Kelleher, Ryan, Prendergast and Crowley as possibles too but equally none of them might go.

It will be interesting to see if guys with injuy clouds like Doris, Tuipolotu and Feyi-Waboso get a call-up.

I can see Prendergast and a lot of the Leinster boys getting the nod with Andy Farrell in charge

Farrell won't go with a 42 man squad, he's never had a large squad with Ireland, why would start now
