Cullen explained: “Dan Sheehan, he’s very close. We are going to have conversations after this weekend in terms of what Ireland wants. We’ve a game next week and some of those guys who haven’t featured in this game will possibly feature. Bath head coach Johann van Graan has made three changes to the team that beat Clermont Auvergne 40-21 last week. Ross Molony, who joined the English club from Leinster in the summer, is promoted to the run-on team in the second row, where he will partner former Ireland international, the South African-born Quinn Roux.
