Brian Barry-Murphy:

"No, I think it would be wrong of me to say that. I don't know the players Rubin is competing with to be in that squad.

Rubin's impact with us has been immense. He'll be fine, he's making big strides. We believe he can make more strides based on what he's done and what he can do.

I'm sure if he can continue to do that on a weekly basis, he'll get his chance.

It's possible for Rubin to do anything he wants in the game, his potential is enormous. We're pushing him to do even more.

Not for me to tell Bellamy who to pick but I have talked to him. He gave me some pointers on some of the players he knew better than I did when I first came here. He was really positive about all of them and I guess it's really beneficial for him to see his players getting game time with us. Hopefully that's a relationship for us to maintain and progress moving forward.

It's a huge honour for Dylan and Ronan, a testament to the performances that they've put in.

They're both benefitting from exposure to so much game time and are improving game by game.

Both players are doing really well. It's a great reward for them and their families."
