Photograph: Dan Sheridan/InphoThese days only come around once every four years – Andy Farrell’s World Cup squad was announced in the Shelbourne Hotel yesterday and the 33 men who will carry Ireland’s hopes in France are now known. Gerry Thornley writes that
it was all pretty much cast in stone before the weekend – with the exception of the desperately unlucky Cian HealyJohn O’Sullivan was also on-site for the announcement yesterday, which also doubled as the first chance for the press corps to access Johnny Sexton since his suspension in the wake of the Champions Cup final.
