Doris Set For Debut As Farrell Announces First Ireland Team

Back-rower Doris is one in all two uncapped players in Farrell’s first 23 as Ireland boss, with Leinster teammate Ronan Kelleher set to take his location on the bench on the Aviva Stadium.


Former Ireland Under-20s captain Doris – who is just 21 years old – taking his vicinity at No.8 method CJ Stander switches to blindside flanker, with Josh van der Flier at No.7 and sixty four-cap Peter O’Mahony on the bench.

Johnny Sexton will captain the aspect from fly-half – taking up the armband from the now-retired Rory Best – and will associate Conor Murray inside the half of-backs, with Ulster’s in-form scrum-half of John Cooney named the various replacements.

Andrew Conway receives the nod at the wing opposite Jacob Stockdale, even as Rob Herring is the hooker following Best’s retirement.

Iain Henderson and James Ryan will start in the second row but Devin Toner, who neglected out on choice to the World Cup, is again in favour beneath Farrell and takes his location on the bench.

It is Farrell’s first Championship in rate after Joe Schmidt left his role following last autumn’s World Cup and Ireland will look to copy the result that noticed them win 22-13 at BT Murrayfield twelve months ago.
