Wales Versus Ireland Saturday 2.15 (Virgin Media 1, BBC1) Two weeks ago, in a comment on my post here on the second round of the Six Nations and on Facebook, I suggested that Simon Easterby could make up to 14 changes to the team that beat Scotland with only Aki retained, and still have a decent chance of beating Wales. Had a known that McCloskey was back fit, that would have been fifteen changes, an entirely new starting XV.
