On the latest Left Wing Extra, Sinead Kissane is joined by Luke Fitzgerald and Rúaidhrí O’Connor to discuss the Ireland team to face England in Twickenham on Saturday.
The big guns have been recalled for the crunch clash with Andrew Conway, Bundee Aki and Peter O'Mahony making the first XV.
As expected, Johnny Sexton returns as No.10 replacing Joey Carbery while Hugo Keenan is recalled and Mack Hansen misses out.
Up front, Andrew Porter's injury-enforced absence paves the way for Cian Healy to earn a start in a front-row along with Dan Sheehan and Tadhg Furlong.
Don’t forget to listen to Sinead Kissane and the Left Wing Live for post-match reaction to the game on Saturday while Luke and Will return for the regular Left Wing show for more rugby discussion and analysis next Wednesday.
