The Ireland Rugby 23 We Want To See Andy Farrell Pick To Take On Fiji

Balls.ie writer Eoin Harrington has selected his preferred Ireland matchday 23 for head coach Andy Farrell to face Fiji at the Aviva Stadium. With Ireland sitting third in the Nations Championship table and managing several injuries, Harrington argues the fixture provides Farrell with an opportunity to balance experimentation and team solidity ahead of a crucial upcoming clash against South Africa.

Harrington advocates for front-row starts for Tom O'Toole, Rónan Kelleher, and Tom Clarkson, while proposing James McNabney at number eight amid injuries to Caelan Doris, Jack Conan, and Sean Jansen. The suggested backline includes a half-back pairing of Jamison Gibson-Park and Ciaran Frawley, with Bundee Aki and Jamie Osborne in the centres and Hugo Keenan retained at full-back.
