Probably what will be picked alright

Gavin and Forde at Connacht, hoping they can make a top class centre pairing. Also Niall Murray to get back to his form from his debut seasons.

Munster must have a GAA person working this. Hopefully they don't manage to twist their way out of it.

Brilliant look at the behind the scenes shenanigans when F1 had small private teams.

I hope Tadhg gets the time to fully recover and isn't rushed back for Europe and the Lions. It would be a pity if he didn't tour but might be better in the long term. McCarthy will be missed but at least it allows Beirne back to his best position.

Feels like Irelands line out hasn't been great with or without POM for a couple of years now. He's been one of the best players to wear green but like Healy I feel he's a bit of a wasted space in the squad, probably won't be the losing of a game but no longer going to be the winning. 😕

Maybe Andy has passed on tips from Owen on how to get away with high tackles?

He looked really sharp, different from his early days but not in a bad way.
