Mack Hansen, Jack Conan and Iain Henderson have been restored to the Irish starting XV for Saturday’s concluding Guinness 2022In addition to those three changes, Kieran Treadwell has been restored to the bench after marking his return following an absence of over four years with a try against Italy, while Peter O’Mahony reverts to the replacements in an otherwise unaltered match-day 23.
He was then moved to the right wing for the Italian game when James Lowe was restored and, it transpired, Andrew Conway had been ruled out with a bruised knee. Conway was then restored for last week’s 32-15 win over England in Twickenham but now Hansen is back on the right wing again for his fourth cap, as Conway is again “being managed for a knee niggle”.
Andy Farrell singled out Conan after he made a telling try-scoring impact in the last quarter at Twickenham after replacing O’Mahony, as Ireland reverted to the starting backrow for the first two games against Wales and France. With Conan now restored, Farrell and his assistant coaches have thus reverted to that all-Leinster loose forward trio.
In what was likely to have been another close call Bundee Aki has retained his place at inside centre alongside Garry Ringrose despite the big impact made by Robbie Henshaw after replacing his one-time Connacht midfield partner in the 66th minute at Twickenham.
