Can't wait to see what Copeland brings, after the last few games Boyle deserves a week break although I'm half surprised he's not in at backrow cover given his impact.

Kick-off 5:15pm:

(15-9) Tiernan O’Halloran, Cian Kelleher, Tom Farrell, Bundee Aki, Matt Healy, Jack Carty, Kieran Marmion, (1-8 ) Denis Buckley, Dave Heffernan, Finlay Bealham, Gavin Thornbury, Quinn Roux, Sean O’Brien, Jarrad Butler, Robin Copeland.

Replacements (16-23): Tom McCartney, Peter McCabe, Dominic Robertson-McCoy, Ultan Dillane, Colby Fainga’a, Caolin Blade, Craig Ronaldson, Niyi Adeolokun.

Happy with the look of that team.

Team named. starts for Copeland Bundee Farell. Buckley back Kelleher in for Niyi. No Boyle and Thornbury starts Dillane is sub.

Godwin misses out on the 3 into 2

McCartney's wife is an Irish passport holder and has been since before they came over. He'd be entitled to a passport 3 years from the date they got married.

It's passport based not IQ based I thought so unless he has an Irish passport it's still 3 into 2

Isn't Tom an Irish-qualified project player though? Although if not I suspect Jarrad might be rested, particularly if Copeland is back.

One of Godwin and Butler will have to sit out of the 23 if McCartney is in

Delahunt and O'donnell are playing for the Eagles tonight. Heff and McCabe will be in the 23
