Irish rugby is in great shape but missing one vital ingredient according to Hugh Farrelly in The Irish Independent.
Since Paul Wallace's retirement in the early part of the last decade, there has been no outstanding candidate for his berth in the team, a situation which still prevails, and in such a vital position, this is far from ideal.
"Court, Mike Ross and Tony Buckley are the leading alternatives, but there are caveats associated with each - not least the issue of their lack of regular game time.
"Former Ireland captain Terry Kingston played with some quality Irish tight-heads during his international career, props of the calibre of Des Fitzgerald, Jim McCoy, Gary Halpin and Peter Clohessy."
