In thew long run, the likes of Cian Healy, Andrew Porter, Ryan Baird, Iain Henderson, Keith Earls and Jimmy O'Brien will be vital when the squad is cut from 45 to 33 players for final World Cup squad selection. This is our selection, with educated guesses [or perhaps personal bias!] on Jean Kleyn, Scott Penny, Cian Prendergast and Jamie Osborne.LOOSEHEAD: Andrew Porter, Cian Healy, Dave Kilcoyne, Jeremy Loughman HOOKER: Rónan Kelleher, Dan Sheehan, Rob Herring, Tom Stewart TIGHTHEAD: Tadhg Furlong, Finlay Bealham, Tom O'Toole, Roman Salanoa SECOND ROW: Tadhg Beirne, James Ryan, Ryan Baird, Iain Henderson, Joe McCarthy, Jean Kleyn BACK ROW: Peter O'Mahony, Josh van der Flier, Caelan Doris, Jack Conan, Gavin Coombes, Cian Prendergast, Scott Penny SCRUM-HALF: Jamison Gibson-Park, Conor Murray, Craig Casey OUT-HALF: Johnny Sexton, Jack Crowley, Ross Byrne, Joey Carbery CENTRES: Bundee Aki, Garry Ringrose, Robbie Henshaw, Stuart McCloskey BACK THREE: Mack Hansen, James Lowe, Jimmy O'Brien, Hugo Keenan, Calvin Nash, Keith Earls, Jamie Osborne, Jacob Stockdale, Jordan LarmourWe will be across the Ireland squad selection on SportsJOE on Tuesday.
