Ireland and Wolfhounds

Gotta feel for Finlay

Finlay is in Oz for two weeks, so I'm guessing that would make any call up less likely.

Bent has been called up. I really hope it's because Finlay's away.

IRELAND (v Fiji, Saturday 5.30pm, live on RTÉ 2):
Andrew Conway; Darren Sweetnam, Chris Farrell, Stuart mcCloskey, Dave Kearney; Joey Carbery, Kieran Marmion; Jack McGrath, Rob Herring, Andrew Porter; Ultan Dillane, Devin Toner; Rhys Ruddock (capt), Jordi Murphy, Jack Conan. Replacements: James Tracy, Cian Healy, Tadhg Furlong, Kieran Treadwell, CJ Stander, Luke McGrath, Ian Keatley, Robbie Henshaw.

No sign of Dawai in the Fiji team and I see from his Twitter he's in Paris with the family. Was he even called up to the squad this time?

What has happened to Seanie Cronin!? Is he injured?

Just dropped. Hasn't been great recently, Tracy has been starting ahead of him at times. Herring has also been quite good recently to be fair to him.

The Times has Dillane as a Leinster player. This “paper” is sloppy beyond belief. Or do they know something we don’t

Ladies and gentlemen

If anyone has a spare ticket for tomorrow could you let me know as I've a mate looking for one.

Thanks!

Just in reply regarding Dawai, he wasn't selected for their squad for the Autumn internationals as far as I know so he's been dropped since the summer where he started a game and was on the bench for a couple more. In fairness they have some class back row players, I see Peceli Yato might not even be on the bench for them at the weekend and he's a quality player for Clermont

Embarrassment of riches.

Yato's on the bench, he's a monster from what I've seen. Very disappointed Tuisova isn't playing but I doubt Dave Kearney feels the same way.

Sean Masterson the only Connacht player to make the u20 squad...

James Cronin added into the Ireland squad for Kilcoyne, you'd think if Buckley was fit he'd surely have been in there this time, but alas his luck of being injured at the wrong time continues.

the 42.ie have the expected Ireland team up and it has just Aki for us involved, with Marmion being dropped for McGrath. Also James Ryan looks like starting, I think he's another overhyped leinster lad that has been given every advantage possible. I know I'm in the minority with this opinion but still I think both Roux and Dillane are hard done by to be overtaken by him.
