Andy Farrell has made seven changes to his team for the trip to Rome with Ross Byrne, Craig Casey and Bundee Aki all starting in the backline, Jack Conan coming in at number 8, Doris moving to blindside, Iain Henderson replacing the injured Tadhg Beirne and Ronan Kelleher holding off the returning Dan Sheehan. Rúaidhrí O’Connor joins us from the Ireland camp to discuss Byrne’s rapid rise, Casey’s first big start for Ireland and James Ryan’s return to top form.
