Ireland have named their squad for the Rugby World Cup and Cian Healy misses out through injury. At the team hotel, Cian Tracey joins Rúaidhrí O'Connor on the Left Wing podcast to run through Andy Farrell's big decision, assess the fallout of Saturday night's performance against Samoa and look back on the final round of warm-up games before the main event gets going in less than two weeks' time.


Join us for the next Left Wing show on Tuesday when Luke Fitzgerald will give his thoughts on the World Cup squad and Cian Healy’s absence.
