Gatland wrote: “Quite simply he has earned the right to be there, even at the age of 37. I think Marcus Smith is something special but if I want to win a game next week, Johnny has to start”

RUCK’s halfbacks: 10. Sexton (Ireland), 9. Kieran Hardy (Wales)


#FRONT-ROW:

  • 1. Ellis Genge (England)
  • 2. Jamie George (England)
  • 3. Tadhg Furlong (Ireland)

Gatland wrote: “There is nothing between Ellis and Andrew Porter, who was magnificent against the All Blacks and his tries were critical for Ireland. They are the two best looseheads in the world. “
