IRELAND ARE SET to be without tighthead prop Tadhg Furlong for Friday night’s clash with New Zealand in Dublin.
Connacht prop Finlay Bealham could come into the starting XV as a result of Furlong’s injury, while Ulster man Tom O’Toole is in line to be included on the bench. Loosehead prop Ethan de Groot is expected to return for New Zealand having missed their win over England last weekend due to being dropped for a breach of team protocols.
Robbie Henshaw and Garry Ringrose started the second Test in South Africa together in midfield, but Bundee Aki has bounced back with a strong start to this season for Connacht after being left out for that Ireland win in Durban.
