Schmidt and Jones take different views of Heaslip's late withdrawal
Joe Schmidt brushed off suggestions that Peter O'Mahony starting the game ahead of Jamie Heaslip was a deliberate ploy to disrupt England's preparations. The ultra-durable Heaslip pulled up with a "tight hamstring" during the latter stage of the warm-up with CJ Stander shifting to number eight and O'Mahony starting in his place.
