Thursday, 17 October 2019 09:18

Schmidt opts for experience

Rob Kearney, Peter O'Mahony and Garry Ringrose will return for Ireland's Rugby World Cup quarter-final against New Zealand in Tokyo on Saturday.

Kearney missed the Samoa game due to a groin injury, but coach Joe Schmidt has gone for the tried and trusted, picking the experienced Leinster full-back ahead of the in-form Jordan Larmour.

O'Mahony has got the nod in the back row ahead of Tadhg Beirne, with Ringrose returning at outside centre.

Athlone's Robbie Henshaw moves to inside centre, as Bundee Aki's tournament is now over due to suspension.


The Ireland team is:

Rob Kearney at full-back.

Keith Earls and Jordan Larmour on the wings

Garry Ringrose and Robbie Henshaw in the centre

Johnny Sexton and Conor Murray are the half-backs

Cian Healy, Rory Best and Tadhg Furlong are in the front row

Iain Henderson and James Ryan are in the second row

In the back row it's Peter O'Mahony Josh van der Flier and CJ Stander
