Never change a winning team. To challenge New Zealand, three-time world champions, on Friday (9 p.m.) at the Stade de France in the quarter-finals of the Rugby World Cup, the English coach of the XV du Trèfle, Andy Farrell, has renewed the entire team who beat Scotland in the last group match.
Thus, we find Johnny Sexton at the opening, associated at the hinge with Jamison Gibson-Park. Hugo Keenan, Mack Hansen and James Lowe will form the Irish back triangle. With the formidable pair of centers Garry Ringrose-Bundee Aki. The third row will consist of Peter O’Mahony, Josh van der Flier and Caelan Doris. A tough prospect for Ireland, world number 1, but which has never made it past the quarter-finals.
