JWC 2011: Ireland team for South Africa.

by

, , ,

Ireland have made six changes from the starting XV against England. In a bid to keep the team fresh, the bulk of the changes involve swapping around the replacements with Ulster’s Henderson, Jackson, Gallagher and Marshall all taking a stint on the bench.

James McKinney starts at out half in place of Jackson, Niall Annett continues his captain’s role in the middle of the front row and Craig Gilroy moves to the wing, replacing Andrew Boyle, with Tiernan O’Halloran filling in at fullback.

Aaron Conneely gets a start at wing forward with Shane Buckley dropping out due to a one match suspension.

The teams line up as follows:

    The Irish backs made it easy for the English defence playing a flat line attack on a slow serice the only time the English looked vulnerable was Gilroys dash down the middle. The Irish centres got swallowed up ball and all and while the Irish wings looked dangerous (ie pacy) they never got the ball.

    With a player called Nizaam Carr SA must be sponsored by Honda .
