Here is the XV I would select injury permitting to face Wales in the Autumn Nations Cup in Dublin in just over 2 weeks time… Given that there no prize money and it won’t affect your World Cup seeding so for the Welsh game and the Georgian game I’d like to see Andy Farrell cast the net as wide as possible and see what he can come with regarding game plans and team selection.. They also play England but they will select a strong 23 to go to Twickenham on November 21st.
