"Georgia is a game where we could see a lot of new players and guys that are uncapped," said Considine. "I'd love to see Shane Daly getting a go. He's a Munster guy who has really impressed up until this point, and the 15 position isn't really locked down at the moment.
"Who are the guys that you think that you would like to see next weekend against Georgia?" Madigan replied:
"Shane Daly has definitely earned his opportunity to get a run-out for Ireland. Personally, I'd love to see Stuart McCloskey get a run-out. He's someone that offers something slightly different to the centres that have been playing there."Sean Reidy and Rhys Ruddock, who have Test match experience but are "tearing up trees" in the Guinness PRO14 were also discussed, while many Irish supporters would have loved to see the uncapped yet promising likes of Craig Casey, Harry Byrne and Ryan Baird in the mix for Georgia. Gavin Coombes (6 tries) and Scott Penny (5) are two back-rows making their PRO14 presence felt, too. As it turns out, Farrell has only brought in one new face to the squad, and that is because of an injury to Leinster prop Ed Byrne. A statement from the IRFU reads:
'Ed Byrne’s calf tightness ruled him out of playing a role at Twickenham. He will continue his rehab this week. Ulster’s Eric O’Sullivan joins the squad to provide additional cover. John Ryan flagged an issue during the warm-up which was treated but flared up again during the second half, he is expected to be able to train fully this week.'That means Daly and O'Sullivan could both join the nine players who have, so far, been handed their Test debuts by Farrell in 2020. For that Georgia game, you can see the starting XV and replacements bench that we would selected right here.
