Welsh Journalist's Combined Ireland And Wales Team Is Predictably One-Sided

Welsh Journalist's Combined Ireland And Wales Team Is Predictably One-Sided

ireland wales composite team

Wales Online journalist Andy Howell has come through with his promise of selecting just six players in his composite Ireland and Wales team. Howell had suggested this over the weekend and when we spoke to him, he was remaining tight lipped on the names.

However, he's now published his article and, as promised, it's slightly skewed to one side. Not that there's anything wrong with that, we'll be selecting ours over the next few days and chances are it will probably be a bit skewed to the other side.

In preparation for the crunch clash in Cardiff in two weeks time, Howell fired the first shots in the build up by declaring that only five or six of the Six Nations champions would get into the Wales side.

15. Leigh Halfpenny (Wales)
14. George North (Wales)
13. Jonathan Davies (Wales)
12. Jamie Roberts (Wales)
11. Simon Zebo (Ireland)
10. Johnny Sexton (Ireland)
9. Conor Murray (Ireland)
1. Gethin Jenkins (Wales)
2. Rory Best (Ireland)
3. Samson Lee (Wales)
4. Paul O'Connell (Ireland)
5. Alun Wyn Jones (Wales)
6. Peter O'Mahony (Ireland)
7. Sam Warburton (Wales)
8. Talupe Faletau (Wales)

The team features six Irish players, most of which were dead certainties anyway, although some may see Simon Zebo's inclusion as a surprise. Most of the close 50-50 decisions went Wales' way, although some players get into the team a little easy.

It's fair to say that our Ireland-Wales composite team would look quite a bit different. We'll be working on that but who would your definite inclusions be?
