Nope, nowhere to be seen.

But BJ Botha is at 11, just the two places behind Robbie Henshaw naturally....

i think we all know the top 3 already; O'Connell, Sexton and Heaslip

But it's totally subjective anyway, one journalists opinion...

Marmion got listed today

Yeah, I meant in the 30 > 1, the group Robbie will be listed in.
I expect him to be Top 10 as BO'D's anointed replacement....

Part of me really hopes Donncha Ryan and Luke Fitzgerald make the top 20 :evil:

Did not even bother reading the article!

Paddy Jackson behind Noel Reid...?

Pffftt

I think its a bit of fun, and gets people worked up, and debating. Interested to see how highly he rates Rob Kearney

Thanks for sharing this Cows, but what a complete and utter waste of time. No objective criteria to rate player's importance. Cummiskey clearly doesn't have enough to do!

The Irish Times are listing the top 50 rugby players in Ireland over the course of the week
I'm sure it's going to spark some debate.
What Connacht players do we think will be listed?

Interesting to see McCarthy so low. I've started to hear more and more rumblings from Leinster fans, who think he's a waste of space. I wonder is there any chance of him finishing his career with us?

Anyway, I only expect Henshaw and Marmion to make the list.
I would like to think that Buckley, Kearney and White might be considered too
