Dan Sheehan on the bench?
He is who I thought of immediately.. Unless Dunne or Ryan are on the bench but doubtful as both are just back from injury.

Maybe Gavin Mullin is getting a run out?
Barry Daly is another player who could feature. Hasn't played yet this season.

With Cronin or Kelleher missing out?
You'd imagine Farrell wants Kelleher to get a run out, and Cronin has played very little rugby so far this season

Only McGrath and Kelleher could arguably be starting to suit the Irish management.
That pack is ridiculously good for this time of year. I'd happily have that back row in a Champions Cup knockout game and that's without Josh, Doris, Leavy, and Conan. There could be a serious impact from that bench as well. The props are obviously a bit of an unknown quantity at this level but they're really powerful and I can't wait to see Baird and Penny again too.
It'll be good to see Frawley as well and interesting to see how he goes in tough conditions. Disappointed Adam isn't playing. I said a while ago that the right wing might open up for him next season but I was assuming that he'd be nailed on for games like this. I know we have to share games around but it's not great for himself and Cob to be behind Tomane and Ferg, esepcially if the latter two do leave in the summer.
