Ireland team (predicted by Irish Times)

Ireland team v Italy predicted by Gerry Thornley in Irish Times (usually accurate.) Keenan Hansen Ringrose Henshaw Lowe Crowley JGP Porter Sheehan Bealham Ryan Beirne Conan JVF Doris. Subs: Furlong Boyle Herring McCarthy Aki Prendergast POM Murray.

Crowley back is biggest news. Conan starting and Furlong on the bench also interesting. Great to have Lowe and Hansen back (if true.)
