Crystal ball gazing - What will Andy Farrell's Ireland World Cup squad look like? | Murray_Kinsella CiaranKennedy_ GavanCasey
Murray Kinsella We were asked to do this task back in November and already, this selection has changed quite a bit, as it surely will in the coming months. The toughest thing is figuring out how many back rows and outside backs to bring, as well as who covers where.
This prediction is based on how we have seen Farrell and his coaches select their squads over the past year. Regardless of what happens next and even with the squad size going up from 31 to 33 this year, some seriously good players are going to miss out on the World Cup with Ireland. I see one of the back three slots as being a straight-up race between Keith Earls and Jordan Larmour and, while we know the esteem in which Farrell holds Earls — both as a player and, equally pertinently of late, as a sort of key piece of the feng shui — I believe Larmour’s provincial form is tracking towards him winning that race.
