@Machpants borrow one from the opposition?

Call up some one from NPC!

No idea what side he plays, but I wonder if Jager would accept an invite if one was forthcoming?

Healy has been named on the bench.

I smell something fishy. Like getting 'injured' in the warmups.

@Duluth cheers. I have never gotten my head around who plays what side.

WR would be all over that you would hope. The manager does need to provide the match officials with a 23 prior to kickoff.

@Crucial you'd think Ireland rate thier scrum to want to be able to use it as an attacking platform...maybe if GO scrums, we have plenty of mobilityon the bench

[Ludraman]

Bealham has played both sides for us in the past - he started at LH for us recently against Georgia. So if Healy were to drop out it'd be Bealham covering LH and O'Toole covering TH

The bloke looked in some serious pain last night and had to be carted off the field. Either Healy has a pain tolerance like mine, or they made an error.

Healy has recovered better than expected and was moving around of his own accord yesterday a couple of hours after the match. He can play both sides of the scrum, as can Bealham.

Henderson gone, so Beirne the obvious candidate to take the starting spot alongside Ryan.

Nous of O'Mahony to start means Conan moves to bench.

Out back, it's all-Leinster except for Earls who got in ahead of Larmour for the other wing spot.

Whilst this lot have played more recently than the mix n match side against Maoris, I don't see a win coming up. Unless Farrell has found something to get them re-charged to the level they were at last November - cos that's what's needed at minimum. Earls and Lowe are vulnerable to being skinned on the outside - could be very uncomfortable viewing by the time the half-time hooter blows.

@Derm-McCrum Given the disruptions to our side and some odd selections I think Fozzie is trying to make it tight. Good luck.
