00:00It's been a very difficult decision to pick a 15 as well as a 23, partly based on the
00:07fact that there's been a couple of really good performances in Europe leading into this
00:14Six Nations and I think that's probably been a little bit different to November when we
00:20didn't have those competitive games to come into and I think all the players have come
00:24in in good form and they've made it really difficult for us to make those decisions.
00:30Sam ahead of Jack, you know what, those two are going to play a lot of rugby and they're
00:35going to compete with each other along with a few other players, Kieran Frawley also in
00:39the squad, they're going to play a lot of rugby and compete for a long time together
00:44I think.
00:47This decision has gone Sam's way, we felt like he did really well in November, he got
00:54a taste for international rugby, he went away and played really well for Leinster.
