Ronan O'Gara is advising players who were not named in the Ireland training camp to be ready.
Munster quartet Jean Kleyn, Jeremy Loughman, Diarmuid Barron and John Hodnett all missed out spots in Andy Farrell's squad of 42, despite performing well in the province's march to the URC title.
La Rochelle coach O'Gara says a player such as Hodnett needs to bide his time.
