4. Ronan Kelleher, Ireland
- Age: 23
- Caps: 6
- Club: Leinster
- Position: Hooker
- Odds: 6/4
The Leinster hooker has been highly spoken of as a coming talent for a few seasons now, and at 23 with 11 caps under his belt, his club form looks to have assured his place as the next Ireland hooker. The question is whether he can force his way into contention among some fairly impressive names. Jamie George and Ken Owens will expect to tour again this summer and will take some dislodging, while Luke Cowan-Dickie’s Exeter Chiefs form demands some recognition.
