Throughout previous Rugby World Cup campaigns terms like ‘contenders’ have often been associated with Ireland. Yet they’ve consistently fallen short never advancing beyond the quarter-finals. However, this time around many argue that Ireland boasts one of the most robust and most stable squads in their history.

Props

Highly-tattooed loosehead prop Andrew Porter has become an indispensable component in Andy Farrell’s rugby strategy. His presence was virtually constant during the Grand Slam Campaign. And he shone in last year’s Test series victory against the All Blacks contributing two tries to the 23-12 win in Dunedin.

Originally a tighthead Porter hailing from Dublin has displayed unwavering solidity since transitioning to the loosehead side of the scrum. His formidable strength is poised to be a significant asset for Ireland in France. Known by the moniker Killer Dave Kilcoyne stands as one of the squad’s most experienced players having made his entrance against South Africa in 2012.

Like Porter Kilcoyne celebrated his 50th Test cap during the thrilling Six Nations victory over France in February, he has rebounded admirably since returning from a severe neck injury that sidelined him from the Test series in New Zealand last year. Tadhg Furlong boasting six British and Irish Lions Test caps is no stranger to the grand stage.

And has been a pivotal figure for Ireland for nearly a decade. As a world-class prop, Furlong holds the key to Ireland’s set-piece performance. His physical prowess will be invaluable when facing the formidable South African team in Paris. Rugby World Cup fans can buy Ireland Rugby World Cup Tickets from our website. 

Formerly hailing from Australia tight head prop Finlay Bealham unexploited out on the 2019 squad under Joe Schmidt but has since become a steady fixture in Farrell’s front row. He started the first three games of this year’s Grand Slam campaign before a knee injury forced him to miss the last two matches. Bealham appears to be a natural successor to Furlong in the tighthead position.

Tom O’Toole the youngest among Ireland’s six props Rugby World Cup squad

Tom O’Toole showcased his potential by coming off the bench in all five of this year’s Six Nations matches. He has earned the trust of the coaching staff and is poised to vie for starting positions in his maiden RWC appearance.

While O’Toole may be the youngest Jeremy Loughman holds the distinction of having the least Test experience among Irish props. A Munster stalwart for six years Loughman earned two of his three caps in the warm-up matches.

Dan Sheehan, Farrell’s preferred starting hooker is set to play a central role in Ireland’s RWC 2023 campaign after overcoming a foot injury. Despite making his Test debut in the 2022 Six Nations the Leinster favorite has demonstrated. His mettle in high-stakes encounters against rugby powerhouses like New Zealand, South Africa and France.

Sheehan is not only an efficient ball carrier but also possesses a knack for scoring tries. As exemplified by his double in the Grand Slam-clinching victory over England. Challenging Sheehan for the number two jersey is his club-mate Ronan Kelleher who has grappled with injury setbacks over the past 18 months.

Despite Sheehan’s impressive displays securing his starting role Kelleher trained with the Lions in 2021. Remains a proficient alternative should Farrell opt to make changes in the front row. Rob Herring an experienced operator clinched the final hooker spot edging out his Ulster club-mate Tom Stewart.

The 33-year-old originally from Cape Town has made impactful try-scoring contributions. Coming off the bench in matches against New Zealand and England. He particularly stood out when replacing Stewart in the warm-up victory over Samoa.

Second Row

James Ryan has emerged as a vital pillar within the Irish rugby juggernaut debuting under Declan Kidney in 2012. He has shouldered the captaincy duties in the absence of Johnny Sexton most notably in the resounding 29-10 victory over England. The Leinster lock played a pivotal role starting every match during Ireland’s triumphant.

Grand Slam campaign earlier this year even notching up tries against Wales and Italy. Ryan stands as one of Andy Farrell’s key on-field leaders. While injuries disrupted Tadhg Beirne’s Six Nations journey the Munster lock played a crucial role in Ireland’s series victory in New Zealand. And their clean sweep during the autumn internationals against South Africa, Fiji and Australia.

Beirne was a reserve in Ireland’s 2019 Rugby World Cup pool games against Japan and Scotland. But he is anticipated to feature significantly in France. Iain Henderson the Ulster captain and a respected figure within the squad will participate in his third RWC following his IRFU contract extension in June.

Like Ryan, Henderson can take up the captain’s armband in Sexton’s absence a role he fulfilled against Italy last month. Despite grappling with injuries this two-time Lions tourist continues to be a vital senior presence in the team. Lock Ryan Baird is known for his thoughtful approach both on and off the rugby field.

He left a positive impression in his first Test start against Italy and has garnered praise from Henderson. McCarthy is poised to come of age during the France Rugby World Cup 2023. To read more about Andy Farrell be not astonished by Ireland’s progress ahead of the wide-open Rugby World Cup.

Backrow

When your head coach playfully complains about being sick of you consistently. Earning man of the match awards you’re certainly doing something right. Caelan Doris has undeniably flourished into a world-class number eight over the past three years. Even made the shortlist for Six Nations Player of the Tournament earlier this year.

His trajectory suggests he’s poised to make a significant impact in the upcoming tournament. The current Rugby World Cup player of the year is Josh van der Flier. He is another player who is virtually guaranteed a spot in the starting lineup much like Doris.

Drawing inspiration from the legendary All Blacks flanker Richie McCaw this Leinster. Star has consistently delivered game-changing moments in high-stakes matches. Impressively he has managed to score tries against six of the nine teams directly ranked below Ireland in the world rankings.

Peter O’Mahony a battle-hardened veteran of Irish Test rugby is on the cusp of becoming his nation’s 10th centurion if he earns four caps in France. Remarkably effective more than a decade after making his debut O’Mahony’s enduring quality is exemplified. By his inclusion in this year’s Six Nations team of the tournament.

Although injuries have posed challenges to his recent progress Jack Conan boasts undeniable elite-level talent. Having started all three Tests during the Lions’ 2021 tour of South Africa. He now seeks Rugby World Cup redemption after an injury-marred experience in Japan four years ago.
