Disappointing from Joe, thought he might blood Marmion too

in fairness to joe, why would we experiment with the team when were against the toughest opposition we face this year. better to experiment against easier teams like south Africa or NZ and Australia in the autumn.

Wtf why is McFadden there

Big mistake with Zebo. He is a decent winger but an awful fullback. He can not pass and his kick return is probably the 4th weakest of the possible selections.

I had a dream earlier ireland lose by two 13-11.

As a neutral in this one Ireland & Shmidt's selection is a real shame

McFadden is in the team while McCloskey, gilroy, jackson are not. why Joe why!!!???

What's the point of bring in McCluskey for one game and casting him aside. The lad needs a run in the team to develop.

Joe taking no chances with that 15.

Dillane for Ryan, Gilroy for Trimble, Payne for Kearney and maybe Jackson for Madigan. Joe needs to make these changes IMO
