Good luck Ireland!

For the past few years, this Wolfhounds-Saxons fixture has served as a friendly curtain-raiser for the RBS 6 Nations, but this year's encounter has added significance considering the approach of RWC 2015. A quick look at both match-day 23s promises a not-so-friendly encounter. The Irish team-sheet is littered with familiar faces, and features only one uncapped player - Jack Conan. Sean O'Brien pulls on a green jersey too in his first appearance back from a shoulder injury. The English lineup features a less experienced, but equally exciting selection. Sam Burgess fills into the centre - his selection demonstrates just how keen the English are to fast-track him into their side ahead of the World Cup. This promises to be a cracker, stay tuned!

Come on Ireland!!
