Ireland Six Nations Squad 2025

Think at the moment for England I'd be looking at:

1. Porter
2. Kelleher
3. Furlong
4. McCarthy
5. Beirne
6. Baird
7. Van der Flier
8. Doris
9. Gibson-Park
10. Crowley
11. Osborne
12. Henshaw
13. Ringrose
14. Nash
15. Keenan

16. Sheehan (or McCarthy if not fit)
17. Healy
18. Bealham
19. Ryan
20. Conan
21. Murray
22. Prendergast
23. Lowe/Hansen

Expect to see Beirne at 6, Aki and POM in there somewhere and probably Lowe and Hansen starting.

If Lowe is in any way fit I'd start him. Also think Prendergast has been the better of the two since November (yesterday aside) but fairly nonplussed at who gets in.
 
I think while Osborne is a superb player he is not a winger. Bath showed that the weekend. He is a centre or fullback. I'd have Lowe back in.
#6 is a hard one to call. Beiurne should not be near there. I agree with 4, 5 and 19.
Baird I don't think has done enough but then do we go Izzy. I strongly expect POM to be there but it isn't the call I would want.

On form I think rest is correct. I think Crowley is the better 10 to start vs England but expect Prendergast to play and start games in this tournament too.

Nash deserves the #14 jersey on form by a distance but that won't happen. After the AI's he won't go from 0mins to featuring.
