Wing has overcome a calf issue picked up against ScotlandJames Lowe has been selected to face the country of his birth
Mack Hansen has been included in an unchanged Ireland starting XV for Saturday’s Rugby World Cup quarter-final against New Zealand in Paris. The Connacht wing has overcome a calf issue suffered in last weekend’s 36-14 victory over Scotland.
The lock James Ryan, who sustained a hand injury against the Scots following his introduction as a replacement, and centre Stuart McCloskey drop out of Andy Farrell’s matchday 23. Second-rower Joe McCarthy, the youngest member of Ireland’s 33-man squad at 22, and versatile back Jimmy O’Brien, the only player yet to feature in France, have been added to the bench.
