Jack Crowley will start at outhalf for Ireland in the opening Six Nations game against France in Marseille on Friday night. The fourth change compared to the starting XV in the World Cup quarter-final defeat by New Zealand sees Robbie Henshaw restored to the midfield in the absence of Garry Ringrose , who has been ruled out with a shoulder injury. Cian Healy, James Ryan, Ryan Baird and Ciarán Frawley have been named on an Irish bench, which has a 6-2 configuration for the first time ever.
Farrell confirmed that Ringrose sustained “a bang on the shoulder” in Leinster’s Champions Cup win over Leicester almost two weeks ago, adding that this game came “a little bit too soon” for the centre. “He’s flown home yesterday with a few other lads and he’s into rehab and hopefully it’s not too long an injury and back for the next game,” said the Irish head coach with regard to Ireland’s second match at home to Italy next Sunday week
