We're now three years into a Rugby World Cup cycle, and eyes are turning ever more to Australia next winter for Ireland and fans of Irish rugby. Much could change over the coming season, but here's who we're predicting will make up Andy Farrell's first-choice Ireland 23 at the World Cup in Australia next year. It's hard to see a world in which Hugo Keenan and Mack Hansen don't start for Ireland if fully fit come the World Cup. This would be Furlong's fourth World Cup if he remains fit, a testament to his longevity in the Irish jersey. For experience alone, he is likely to start unless his fitness falls off a cliff between now and the World Cup.
