BANK OF IRELAND Autumn Series 2022

[Ruckedtobits]

Interesting Squad(s) and format announced by Farrell. Despite injuries, it's a strong group:

At first glance, it's the inclusion of Frawley among 3 out-halves, Stuart McCloskey among 3 centres and Jeremy Loughman & Cian Healy in the Props and Joe McCarthy among 4 second-rows that stand out.

The inclusion of Marty Moore and Salanoa with Jack Crowley, Jamie Osborne & Caolin Blade for the Squad v NZ is also a strong call. Not surprised to see Kilcoyne named in only 'add-on' group behind Loughman. Barron in same group but no room for Stewart

I'd have Stewart ahead of Barron; but then what do I know? Maybe he's carrying a niggle or Faz mór wants a look close up at the Munster no. 2.

7 back back 3, 3 centers, 4 locks and 8 back rows. Some of the numbers in the squad mix look a bit odd.
