Surely Stephen Ward must have 'retired', otherwise he would be a definite, especially as Walters still gets the call 49 caps too...1 to go for a landmark.

[No Ney Never]

Wardy's hardly been in form lately, maybe he's been carrying a knock or something and indicated he wasn't up for it.

[ClaretTony]

I'm surprised with Ward, but he didn't make the last squad either.

Who are their LB options?

Who are their LB options?

I think Enda Stevens at Sheff Utd is a left back but there's certainly nobody in the same league as Stephen Ward!

[Vegas Claret]

Probably because ward was diabolical in his last game for Ireland

[Longside4evr]

He wasn't in the Irish team last time out because of injury, we have seen that his form hasn't been the same since his injury but who in LB position is in Wards league when available for selection, Enda Stevens wouldn't want him as our LB

[IanMcL]

Walters hasn't played for a season and he made the squad!

Extraordinary.
