Dave Kilcoyne and Tadhg Furlong can help get Ireland back on victory trail, says John Fogarty

Dave Kilcoyne and Tadhg Furlong are delighted to be starting.

Two returning props and a pair of potential debutants can give Ireland the energy to get back on the victory trail in Rome Saturday afternoon, Irish coach John Fogarty believes.

Dave Kilcoyne and Tadhg Furlong return to Ireland’s front row in Rome while uncapped lock Ryan Baird and scrum-half Craig Casey are primed for Test debuts off the bench. Scrum coach Fogarty has been impressed by the energy and work ethic of those players during preparations this week.
