Its on the BBC - according to the BBC and I'm sure they'd never lie.
Edit: Might be BBC Wales only though

Re: World cup warmups
No first choice starters (except for Faletau on bench), 6 guys starting who normally bench, think this side will want to throw it around & attackjohng wrote:15 Hallam Amos, 14 Alex Cuthbert, 13 Tyler Morgan, 12 Scott Williams, 11 Eli Walker, 10 James Hook, 9 Mike Phillips, 1 Nicky Smith, 2 Richard Hibbard, 3 Aaron Jarvis, 4 Jake Ball 5 Dominic Day, 6 Ross Moriarty, 7 Justin Tipuric, 8 Dan Baker.

Whatever team (named Thursday lunchtime) we put out wont be giving much away in terms of moves except for the few classic Schmidt plays

Re: World cup warmups
Meanwhile, Easterby said that the three other Ireland players returning from surgery are making positive progress and are in line to feature in the World Cup warm-ups, albeit that Saturday’s clash with Wales will come too soon.PCASEY wrote:ahh hear now, have I missed something or are you just taking a punt on past (unlucky) form....simonokeeffe wrote:

There are the obvious guys who came back from shoulder surgery – so Luke Fitzgerald, Marty Moore and Sean Cronin – who are all progressing nicely,” said Easterby. “They’re going through their rehabilitation programme and working hard to get back to full fitness.

Re: World cup warmups
Close to my own
But I think McGrath will start so as to get up to Match fitness. Also move Heaslip to the bench and put Murphy on at 8. Then swap in Murray for Reddan.

Ruddock's tackle stats consistently too low for me to be taken seriously as a Six Nations blindside..... Ruddock's defensive stats don't stack up. - All Blacks Nil, Jan 15th, 2014

Re: World cup warmups
D'arcy at 12 maybe? Give him a fighting chance of possibly making it?
Payne and Henshaw are nailed on as starters all going well (touch wood). Might be good to try out other combinations

Re: World cup warmups
I selected based on leaving our least experienced combo (centres) in place. You have to keep some spine of first teamers in there.
I don't think murray or sexton will play. Jordi might though.

Re: World cup warmups
Apparently Joe and Gatland had a chat last week and we're likely to have a relatively weak team.
God I hate these games, I'll just spend the 80 minutes looking for injuries.
