Tadhg Furlong a major doubt for Ireland's showdown with New Zealand

With props already a concern due to Dan Sheehan's absence, losing Furlong would further complicate Ireland's efforts to secure a win against New Zealand.

Farrell’s selection choices become crucial as he may need to include Finlay Bealham, indicating significant depth issues in the front row for the upcoming match.

Tadhg Beirne’s consistent performance in the back-row aligns with Ireland’s past success, possibly indicating continuity in strategy against formidable opponents like the All Blacks.

The competition for midfielder positions remains intense, with Bundee Aki and Robbie Henshaw vying for a place alongside Garry Ringrose as Ireland approaches a tough showdown.
