Rory Donnelly's International Dream

We don't often have players listed for potential international duty but I see the recent article with his has him dreaming of sneaking a place at France next summer. Having a look at their current strikers for the most recent matches played, here is who he is up against:

Kyle Lafferty (Norwich City)
Niall McGinn (Aberdeen)
Jamie Ward (Nottingham Forest)
Josh Magennis (Kilmarnock)
Billy Mckay (Dundee United)
Will Grigg (Wigan Athletic)
Liam Boyce (Ross County)

Personally I can't see him getting in especially when a squad is likely to have 4 strikers. Grigg is there at our level and I've quite liked him yet he has only been used 7 times. Carry on like he is and he will be hard to ignore. Have N.I. moved on a lot for him to not be considered or is he worth a shot should he carry on?

I think Northern Ireland have always had to pick players from the lower divisions as there isn`t too many players playing in the Premier League.If Donnelly gets 15+ then he has a decent chance as others may not score that many like Lafferty and Ward.
