"I'd love to see a partnership, at some stage of the Six Nations, between Stuart McCloskey and Garry Ringrose," said Jason Hennessy. "With the form Ringrose is in and the way McCloskey runs at people and brings so many people into the game. He takes out players and has a great offload and a great passing range. It could be magic."To me, Jamison Gibson-Park and Johnny Sexton are a lock for 9 and 10, with Hugo Keenan primed for another fullback start. Mack Hansen should start, most likely on the right wing, and Jimmy O'Brien could push James Lowe close for the 11 jersey. After hashing it out in the House of Rugby studio, this is the Ireland team the panel agreed on for that opening game against Wales.
