Healy, Best, Furlong, Hendrson, Ryan, POM, VDF, Stander, Murray, Sexton, Stockdale, Henshaw, Ringrose, Conway, Larmour.
Bench: Kilcoyne, Cronin, Porter, Beirne, Ruddock, McGrath, Carbery, Farrell.
Honestly think whoever Schmidt picks at 14 and 15 will have a huge bearing on this game. Larmour for me absolutley must start at 15 over Kearney. As Earls cannot win a high ball to save his life Conway has to get the start at 14 for me. Our back 3 looked best against Scotland, and thereās a reason for that. If Murray and Sexton produce what we know they can, and we dominate their front 5 I genuinely think weāll win this. I donāt like their 10, and I think as someone else has outlined we can really get at Barrett at 15. They arenāt the NZ of 4 years ago. Ireland by 4.

He went to the Gick.
Thatās a blow, itās no coincidence that Ireland have started a New Zealander at centre in both their wins against NZ. There wil be no lack of effort from his replacement but he just wonāt have the same rugby intelligence as Bundee.
Thereās plenty wrong with Bundeeās game but in high tempo games he could be relied on to do the right thing more often than not. ā His presence at the breakdown will be a huge loss but itās his reading of the game and ability to track back and make covering tackles that will be the biggest loss.
Itās a hammer blow for William Fry and the solicitors profession in general following on from some unsavory press of late for the profession. They really should have brought a serious heavy hitter out, like Jim OāCallaghan S.C. Tim maybe as Junior Counsel to carry the bags.

Bundee says sayounara to the World Cup.
The rules of World Rugby were enforced.
Bundee is not that type of player.
It was. the appeal was worth a whirl but it was a red card all day long.
Earls is the only one of the back 3 gteed to start

is he Acky or Akee? RTE canāt decide which to use!
I believe thereās a right of appeal. Chalk today down to experience and get some heavyweights from the Law Library out for the appeal. As Liam Toland might say, that was a ruck this morning which was under resourced.
