Pretty sound all round.
But Crowley to start.

Think Ringrose and Nash start, and Osbourne is 23. Otherwise agree.

That second row is cat. Lineout is screwed.

Not a bad shout overall I think. Personally I think it'll be Ringrose at 13, Henshaw on the bench and 10 could go either way.

2. With Furlong out, I think they start Sheehan and keep Healy on the bench to support Clarkson at the end.
I think they continue with McCarthy at 4 which means shoehorning Beirne at 6. The rest of the pack picks itself.

3. I fully expect Easterby/Farrell to go with Prendergast and give him Aki and Henshaw as auxillary back rows to support him.
With Beirne at 6 I think they go two back rows on the bench with POM to steady the lineout and bring leadership. Ringrose to cover wing & centre.
