A thumping win in France and a clinical performance against Italy has put Ireland in with a great chance of achieving back-to-back Grand Slams. Andy Farrell’s side have looked a class apart, with fly-half Jack Crowley excelling in both games and proving he can handle the pressure of replacing the great Johnny Sexton.
Top of the table with maximum points, Ireland have produced the perfect response from their painful Rugby World Cup exit last year and will now look to inflict another damaging defeat on a talented but inexperienced Wales. Warren Gatland’s side may have lost their opening two games but there have been plenty of positives.
Wales have, at times, played an expansive brand of free-flowing rugby that has caught the eye and flanker Tommy Reffell has been a standout performer. But they have equally looked vulnerable and may well find it difficult to prevent a marauding Ireland from adding to their already impressive points tally.
Here‘s how they will line up:
Ireland: Frawley; Nash, Henshaw, Aki, Lowe; Crowley, Gibson-Park; Porter, Sheehan, Furlong; McCarthy, Beirne; O'Mahony (capt), Van der Flier, Doris.
Replacements: Kelleher, Healy, Jager, Ryan, Baird, Conan, Murray, McCloskey
Wales: Winnett; Adams, North, Tompkins, Dyer; Costelow, Tomos Williams; G Thomas, Dee, Assiratti, Jenkins (capt), Beard, Mann, Reffell, Wainwright.
Replacements: Elias, Domachoswki, D Lewis, Rowlands, M Martin, Hardy, I Lloyd, Grady
