Seán Edogbo and Henry Walker are restored to the Irish starting team while Joe Hopes reverts to secondrow in place of Alan Spicer, who had an excellent game against England. Other players have stood up and one of those is openside flanker Bryn Ward, although it’s hardly a surprise when considering his family gene pool. His New Zealand-born father Andy won 28 caps for Ireland and was a member of Ulster’s European Cup winning team in 1999, while his brother Zac is a standout player with the Ireland Sevens team.
