But who can blame them, especially after Canada already finalized their own roster? I bet every person in Ireland who loves rugby are all making their own mental notes as to who they think would make the team, and their own rationale for such a decision. But the fact is, there could be one, two or several snubs and new faces in the roster, depending on how coach Josef Schmidt sees the opposition, and what his team can and SHOULD do to compete vigorously in this tournament.
For sure, he is counting on nothing else but complete victory for Ireland rugby, and fans, sports betting enthusiasts and even betting websites are hanging on Schmidt’s pick to see for themselves how good or bad betting odds for the Irish team will be as soon as action commences, influencing the ensuing rugby betting once the inaugural match begins.

The 10 remaining spots remain contested because there was no clear verdict as to who was more deserving and who isn’t. Jack McGrath, Cian Healy, Mike Ross, Michael Bent and Nathan White were considered for props, while on hookers, it was a toss up between Rory Best, Sean Cronin and Richardt Strauss. Second row considerations include Paul O’Connell, Devin Toner, Iain Henderson and Donnacha Ryan. Peter O’Mahony, Sean O’Brien, Jamie Heaslip, Jordi Murphy and Chris Henry comprise the possible back row roster. Conor Murray, Eoin Reddan and Isaac Boss for scrum halves and Jonathan Sexton and Paddy Jackson for out-halves. Robbie Henshaw, Jared Payne, Ian Madigan, Luke Fitzgerald and Keith Earls for centre and Andrew Trimble, Tommy Bowe, Rob Kearney and Simon Zebo at back three.
