From that you could make a pretty good guess at something like
Kilcoyne
Cronin (reckon we'll save Best and Scannell got 60 minutes against Italy)
Furlong
Henderson
Kleyn (pretty sure I saw somewhere that Ryan wasn't likely to play but maybe I imagined that)
Stander
Murphy
Conan
Murray
Carty
Stockdale
Aki
Farrell
Conway
Larmour
Which is a decent team, probably won't be good enough go win in Twickenham if Eddie goes full or close to full strength, but could do well otherwise.
Yeah you'd imagine that's the guts of it Indo are suggesting Byrne will start 10. An Aki Farrell partnership is not really something I want to see again.
You'd presume England will be playing a pretty full strength team other than Billy and I don't think we should really alter our prep because of it but I would love us to go No 1, **** the whole underdog thing, I want proper momentum.
Saw a quote from Richie Murphy that we're bringing 5 halfbacks and 14 backs total which is pretty much what was expected by most. With Carbery's injury it basically has to be 2 9's again. Which begs the question who's going to be the emergency 9?
