Yeah. I think Cooney and Deegan are fair shouts but Earls v Kearney is much of a muchness, although Balaclune would have been sexy.According to Kinsella, Addison is out because of injury.
I do feel a bit for Farrell given if not for injuries the team would be different enough that there likely wouldn't be as many complaints.
Consider me underwhelmed. No Addison on the bench means it's even worse than I was expecting.Sorry lads would have made more sense to put the team here than the Irish Party Years one.
Ireland (v Wales):
15. Jordan Larmour
14. Andrew Conway
13. Robbie Henshaw
12. Bundee Aki
11. Jacob Stockdale
10. Johnny Sexton (captain)
9. Conor Murray
1. Cian Healy
2. Rob Herring
3. Tadhg Furlong
4. Iain Henderson
5. James Ryan
6. Peter O'Mahony
7. Josh van der Flier
8. CJ Stander
Replacements:
16. Ronan Kelleher
17. Dave Kilcoyne
18. Andrew Porter
19. Devin Toner
20. Max Deegan
21. John Cooney
22. Ross Byrne
23. Keith Earls
Referee: Romain Poite [France].
Could be way out but got a feeling it could be:I'll wait until we see the Wales team but not more than a few points either way I think.
Could be way out but got a feeling it could be:
15. Halfpenny
14. North
13. Tompkins
12. Parkes
11. Adams
10. Biggar
9. Williams
1. Wyn Jones
2. Owens
3. Lewis (this is the toughest to predict for me. I'd have personally given WGJ atleast a bench spot... probably a start against Italy to prime him for this weekend. The fact he got no minutes makes me think Pivac will stick)
4. Hill
5. Jones
6. Wainwright
7. Tipuric
8. Faletau
I'd actually be pretty optimistic going up against that, in spite of my gripes with our team. Assuming no major changes to that twamteam Ireland by 4 or 5, the bench is absolutely full of form so I'd say it'll be close and boring for the most part but our bench to bring it home (and show why most of them should be starting).Could be way out but got a feeling it could be:
15. Halfpenny
14. North

Yeah, I bet you would. It'll seem like a genuine waste if he gets no game time this championship.We'll gladly take WGJ back for our semi final this weekend...
