Picking the Ireland team to take on Wales following the injury news

Shuffle.
The Six Nations recommences this weekend after a short break with Ireland looking to continue their unbeaten start as they get set to take on Wales at the Principality.
A lot has changed since the Welsh lost their Round 2 clash with Italy a fortnight ago, with Warren Gatland stepping down and Cardiff boss Matt Sherratt stepping in on an interim basis.
Ireland interim head coach Simon Easterby, meanwhile, has some headaches of his own with captain Caelan Doris, Ronan Kelleher, and Tadhg Furlong all ruled out.
However, Ireland have been boosted by the return of Mack Hansen and Joe McCarthy. With that, here’s the team we reckon he will go with when he names his team on Thursday morning.
