Three Ulster players are named in Ireland’s starting team while another two are replacements as Ireland kick off their World Rugby Championship campaign tomorrow evening against the hosts, France at the Stade Aime-Giral, Perpignan.(KO 20:00 UK/Irish time)

Matthew Dalton starts in the second row while Joe Dunleavy and Matthew Agnew occupy the wing forward positions. Jonny Stewart and Aaron Hall are named on the bench.

Ireland were dealt with a blow this week when Tom O’Toole was ruled out of the tournament with an injury with more emphasis being placed on Jack Aungier who starts at tighthead prop. Diarmuid Barron is named at hooker while James French is Ireland’s loosehead prop. Leinster’s Jack Dunne partners Ulster’s Dalton at lock. Highly rated St Mary’s forward, Caelan Doris captains the side from No.8 instead of the injured Jack O’Sullivan.
