Ireland squad for Wales match
[tag]Ireland[/tag] have announced their [tag]squad[/tag] for their opening [tag]Six Nations[/tag] game against [tag]Wales[/tag] in [tag]Cardiff[/tag]:
Forwards: N Best, R Best, S Best, S Easterby, J Flannery, J Hayes, M Horan, D Leamy, D O’Callaghan, P O’Connell, M O’Driscoll, M O’Kelly, F Sheahan, D Wallace
Backs: I Boss, G Dempsey, G D’Arcy, D Hickie, G Murphy, B O’Driscoll, R O’Gara, P Stringer, A Trimble, P Wallace
Because we have such a tough match for the opener I would initially guess at a fairly traditional starting 15 looking something like this:
- Horan
- Flannery
- Hayes
- O’Connell
- O’Kelly
- Neil Best
- Wallace
- Leamy
- Stringer
- O’Gara
- Hickie
- D’Arcy
- O’Driscoll
- Trimble
- Murphy
Of course with some strong new players in there, e.g. uncapped Ulster prop Simon Best, there is plenty of room for an alternative team featuring Isaac Boss and cohorts. Your thoughts on the squad, and potential starting 15? Post a comment or trackback.

O’Kelly was never going to start, O’Callaghan all the way. I’d love if Boss got his chance for the 6 nations but i do agree with you that it’ll be probably be the same old boring stringer!
O’Kelly was never going to start
On current form, O’Kelly is there before O’Connell by a long way. POC’s been having a woeful run of late.
Of course that’s the team I think will be named, not the best team we could play :)
O’Kelly is lucky to be still in the squad. You must be a ladyboy!
You must be a ladyboy!
And your IP indicates that you’re a turnip!
It’s a tough life we lead :)
