Following on from a successful start v. Italy and a defeat v. Scotland, the selectors have named the team and replacements to play England in Donnybrook, this Friday 25th February, kick-off 4.00 p.m.
Three Exiles’ players feature as follows:
Brett McNamee (6; Northampton Saints) gains his 3rd cap and will captain the team (he is an experienced captain with Northampton in the Zurich A League);
Stuart Philpott (2; Saracens) retains the starting position as hooker;
Kieran Geraghty (centre; London Irish) drops to the bench this time round.
Particular best wishes are due to Brett on the first occasion that he will captain his country.
