He's raised a cult following, as he has improved so much, but IMO, he needs to improve a lot more, or else he becomes just another Michael Bent.

I'm guessing that Moore, Ross, Fitzpatrick would all be in the squad already. Rodney would be playing an A game from the bench at most.

In the home game against Saffracens on the hour Sky threw up tackling and carrying stats and he was in the to 3 of both (across both teams, not just for Connacht), which is fantastic (he finished the 80, even if his final act in the game was a knock-on).
When John Hayes was Rodney's age he was still a year from his Ireland debut. When Mike Ross was Rodney's age he was playing AIL. He should be aiming to take over as Ireland's tighthead from Ross in the next few years (of course he'd have to shift White in Connacht first). Whichever of Moore Fitzpatrick and Ah You secures a provincial starting position first will have a great chance of doing just that.
I reckon, given Nathan White's age (White will be 33 if he plays in one of next autumn's internationals), that he won't be considered for Ireland.

Any notable omissions? Have to admit, I haven't a clue who Rob Herring is!
