Ireland team v. Georgia

Spiffsson · Post by **Spiffsson** » Sun Nov 09, 2014 7:20 pm

Since Georgia is a third level nation, I'd like to see Schmidt ring the changes next week, take a flier, and see how a few others may perform and sod the result. This is a game for some experimentation.

I'd go for a back division something like this (assuming Payne is injured):

Zebo, Gilroy Henshaw (at 13) Olding Conway, Quiffy Marmion. Keatley/Fitz/Reddan on bench.
(Schmidt will probably have F. Jones to start or bench and D'Arcy in there somewhere).

The pack is another matter, since Ireland have many players injured, and Georgia are traditionally pretty tough up front. Less easy to select a decent pack that is significantly different from yesterday's. Perhaps a backrow of Ruddock (at eight) TOD and Dom Ryan; Foley to get a run at lock (with whom? McCarthy?); Kilcoyne, Struss, Ah You front row. (Ross on the bench for a bit of needed game time).

Anyway, doubt that Schmidt will go this route at all, but if the fringe players do get a run in a game like this, then when.

6 day turnaround to Australia, so you would certainly expect wholesale changes after yesterday's efforts.

Maybe Herring could get a game?

Marmion, Henshaw and Olding together, it could have been won right there. They could outscore any team

Also Georgia are a tier 2 nation not 3

There will be changes, but not wholesale. Anyone with a knock will be rested, anyone who needs game time will play.

If Henry had the flu and best is recovered I'd take a stab at

Kilcoynne
Cronin
A tighthead who is fit that's not Mike Ross
O connoll
Toner
Diack
Henry
Heaslip
Marmion
Keatley
Zebo
Henshaw/ olding
Payne if fit, henshaw if not
Bowe
Kearney/ Jones (depending if Kearney needs game time or rest)

Best
Cronin
Another tighhead
McCarthy
Diack/ odonnell
Murray
Madigan
Gilroy/ Felix jones

If Henry has had a virus playing him this week would be daft
