Myriad options here

Won't even hazard a guess, some very good players will miss out

I don’t know how you even start whittling this down.

There are 3 or so genuine contenders from almost every team. I wouldn’t be shocked at any of the Irish 4 going*, but I wouldn’t say any of them enhanced their cases during the 6 nations, while more fringe guys like Morgan, Ritchie and Ben Curry had incredible tournaments.

*Obviously Doris goes, even if he wasn’t at his absolute best he is in a different tier. His form would have to fall off massively between now and the tour to not be an option.

Van der flier needs a good end of season I'd like to see the 3 form players you mentioned picked

Doris and Earl are probably nailed on alright

Fagerson had an excellent game for Scotland on Saturday.

Break it down into some sort of current pecking order

6 - Richie and Tom curry maybe most clear cut?
7 - Ben curry and Morgan, vdf, darge
8 Doris and Earl, fagerson, conan, wainwright
