It may sound like a paradox but we always select just for this weekend and the future - Joe pic.twitter.com/l3MbSU10hW
— Irish Rugby (@IrishRugby) June 9, 2016junkIn the most significant switch Jared Payne starts at fullback for the first time after 14 Tests as a centre while flyhalf Paddy Jackson comes in for the injured Johnny Sexton.Payne replaces Rob Kearney while Luke Marshall comes in for Payne in the midfield. Lock Iain Henderson replaces Donnacha Ryan and flank Jordi Murphy takes over from Tommy O’Donnell. “Jared’s experience and freshness were the main factors in why we chose him‚” coach Joe Schmidt said.“There are always tough selections choices regardless of injuries because you’re trying to get balance.“You have to box clever against the Boks but it was interesting to see what the All Blacks did in the World Cup semi by kicking in behind them. Still‚ they only just won the game. “I’d love to think the Springboks are vulnerable but I don’t think they are. “Allister Coetzee has been a coach for a long time and he knows South African rugby. They’ll come together pretty quickly because they have some super players.“They have a number of world-class players. They have overseas players back‚ which we thought might not happen so it will be tough”.Here's your Ireland team for Saturday #shouldertoshoulder#TeamOfUspic.twitter.com/prB47lZVNj— Irish Rugby (@IrishRugby) June 9, 2016junkIreland team:15- Jared Payne‚ 14-Andrew Trimble‚ 13-Robbie Henshaw‚ 12-Luke Marshall‚ 11-Keith Earls‚ 10-Paddy Jackson‚ 9-Conor Murray‚ 8-Jamie Heaslip‚ 7-Jordi Murphy‚ 6-CJ Stander‚ 5-Devon Toner‚ 4-Iain Henderson‚ 3-Mike Ross‚ 2-Rory Best‚ 1-Jack McGrath.Replacements: 16-Sean Cronin‚ 17-Finlay Bealham.18-Tadgh Furlong‚ 19-Ultan Dillane‚ 20-Rhys Ruddock‚ 21-Kieran Marmion‚ 22-Ian Madigan‚ 23-Craig Gilroy.- TMG Digital..
