Ireland to ring the changes for stadium finale

IRELAND boss Eddie O’Sullivan is ready to experiment against the Pacific Islanders but insists Lansdowne Road must be given a victorious send-off.

Successive wins over South Africa and Australia have presented O’Sullivan with the chance to test out those players on the fringe of the first team who have a chance of making the World Cup squad. O’Sullivan names his side tomorrow and has left little doubt they will be expected to complete a clean sweep from the autumn series to honour Lansdowne Road.

The venue will be hosting its final rugby international before beginning a massive redevelopment in January.
