Ireland vs Wales preview

The Counter Ruck

Is fullback Ciarán Frawley’s best position? How much of a loss will Hugo Keenan be? What to expect from debutant Oli Jager? 

 

Gordon D’Arcy and John O’Sullivan join host Nathan Johns to react to Andy Farrell’s team announcement. The panel looks at if there were any other options to replace Keenan, is picking a 6/2 split on the bench somewhat of a risk and why Stuart McCloskey makes the bench instead of Garry Ringrose. 

 

Saturday’s opponents, Wales, also are analysed in detail. We look at if Sam Costelow will change their game plan at outhalf. Given the threat of Tommy Reffell to the Irish breakdown, Gordon D’Arcy recalls preparing to face previous dangerous Welsh flankers and how Ireland can nullify the Leicester backrow.
