The Left WingThe return of Simon Zebo, the Ciaran Frawley dilemma and Ireland's problem area
On this week's episode of The Left Wing, Will Slattery and Luke Fitzgerald are joined by Ruaidhrí O'Connor to pick through Andy Farrell's Ireland squad for the autumn series.
Dan Sheehan and Ciaran Frawley are the two uncapped players named while there is a return for Simon Zebo after 4.5 years in international exile.
Although Farrell has named a strong squad, will Ireland be undercooked with no big European games to prime the players for November?
The lads also discuss the out-half selection - a position that they agree is a 'problem area' for the team'.
Ireland's exciting front row, the back three battle and the standard of officiating in the URC are all up for discussion too.
