Breaking: Joe Schmidt Names Ireland Team For Springboks Test
Boks Test.
Joe Schmidt has named his Ireland team for Saturday’s Test with the Springboks with Bundee Aki set to make his debut after being named in the starting line-up.
As expected Keith Earls misses out through injury, with Andrew Conway taking his spot in the starting line-up, and Darren Sweetnam coming onto the bench.
Earls is suffering from a hamstring problem and could miss the entire series, while Jack McGrath hasn’t been rushed back after only recently returning from a knock.
Ireland Team to take on the Springboks:
15. Rob Kearney
14. Andrew Conway
13. Robbie Henshaw
12. Bundee Aki
11. Jacob Stockdale
10. Johnny Sexton
9. Conor Murray
1. Cian Healy
2. Rory Best
