Six changes for Ireland, including the return of Jack Crowley
By Liam Heagney
Interim Ireland boss Simon Easterby has reacted to last Saturday’s damaging home loss to France by making six changes to their starting team to take on Italy this weekend.

The Irish had their hopes of an unprecedented hat-trick of Guinness Six Nations titles jolted by the 27-42 loss that sent them tumbling from first to third place on the table after four rounds.
It leaves them relying on results elsewhere, as well as needing to beat Italy, to successfully defend the title and Easterby has now unveiled a team showing four backline alterations, two more in the pack and a rejigged bench which this week reverts to a 5-3 split after last weekend’s 6-2 tactic.

Fit-again wingers Mack Hansen and James Lowe have been included at the expense of the demoted Jamie Osborne and Calvin Nash, while Garry Ringrose, having completed his suspension, is named at outside centre with Bundee Aki dropping to the bench and Robbie Henshaw moving into inside centre.
The fourth and final backline switch sees Jack Crowley promoted for his first start of the 2025 championship with Sam Prendergast dropping to the bench. It’s a timely elevation for the Munster No10 given this week’s transfer speculation that Leicester are interested in bringing him to the Gallagher Premiership next season.
In the pack, subs James Ryan and Jack Conan have been upgraded at the expense of Joe McCarthy and Peter O’Mahony, who will provide bench cover along with Gus McCarthy, who takes over as the hooker sub from Rob Herring, and Jack Boyle, who is named in place of Cian Healy.
The fit-again Tadhg Furlong, who has yet to play Test rugby in 2024/25, also makes his long-awaited return to the fold, with Thomas Clarkson dropping out as the tighthead cover behind Finlay Bealham.

Easterby said in an IRFU statement: “We have freshened things up a little this week in selection and it’s a great boost to welcome back some players from injury, alongside others who have patiently waited in the wings for their chance to start.
“We are aware of Italy’s many threats and we know from experience that travelling to Rome presents a serious challenge, so the squad understands its responsibilities. While there was disappointment with certain aspects of our performance last weekend, we are thankful for the chance to get back on the horse this week.
“We have shown our resilience in recent years and I have no reason to believe that the game in Rome this weekend will be any different. The attitude of the players has been spot on since we gathered on Sunday evening.
“You can sense a determination amongst everyone to give their best performance of the campaign. That is both the challenge and the opportunity that faces us this week.

“A lot has been made about the various permutations at play, and it certainly makes for a dramatic day of international rugby. Our primary focus is on our performance and we are determined to finish our campaign on a positive note.”

As an accountant, I'm typically cautious with my finances. However, last year, I felt pressure to join the cryptocurrency market, fearing I'd miss out on potential gains. An Instagram ad for CBEX Trading caught my attention, with its professional website, real-time charts, and promising testimonials. A representative named Elena guided me through the platform, offering a $200 welcome bonus. Convinced by their promises, I invested $87,000 worth of Bitcoins.

Scammed and Saved: GrayHat Hacks Turned My Crypt0 Nightmare Around
It all started with a dream and a single email. I’d been saving Bitc0in for years, hoping to buy my first home. On a rainy Tuesday, I received what looked like an urgent message from my wallet provider, asking me to verify my account details. The email was polished, the logo perfect, and the urgency felt real. Without thinking twice, I clicked the link and entered my credentials. It wasn’t until hours later, when I checked my wallet and saw a balance of zero, that the horror sank in. My 2.5 BTC, worth over $150,000, was gone. The scammer had drained it through a series of rapid transactions, scattering it across the blockchain like digital dust in the wind.
I was devastated. My dream of homeownership vanished in a click, and I felt like a fool. Days blurred into a haze of panic and regret until I stumbled upon GrayHat Hacks online. Their testimonials spoke of miracles, st0len crypt0 recovered, lives restored. Desperate, I reached ou to them. They explained that while Bitc0in’s blockchain is public, tracing st0len funds is like finding a needle in a haystack. But they had the tools: proprietary software that could analyze transaction patterns, identify wallet clusters, and potentially link the scammer’s address to an exchange where the funds might be frozen.
GrayHat Hacks dove into the blockchain, following the trail of my st0len Bitc0in as it hopped from wallet to wallet. They used advanced clustering algorithms to group addresses likely controlled by the same entity, narrowing down the scammer’s footprint. Then came the breakthrough: one of the wallets was tied to a known exchange. It was a tense few hours, but I eventually received the email I’d been praying for, my Bitc0in was recovered.
GrayHat Hacks expertise turned what felt like an impossible loss into a second chance. They even took the time to teach me how to spot phishing scams, ensuring I’d never fall victim again. If you’re reading this, heart pounding after a crypt0 nightmare, know that GrayHat Hacks is the real deal. They’re not just technicians; they’re lifesavers, blending cutting-edge blockchain analysis with a human touch. My dream of a home is back on track, and I owe it all to them.

Ringrose starting is nothing short of a disgrace and a total blot on the game after his red card. In addition to Campese’s comments on another site regarding the ludicrous refusal to address the clearly illegal clear out of Dupont. And then Porter’s totally charmless comments about the incident. Come on Italy!!
Finally, Jack Crowley to start. A good decision to lift the pressure from the younger and very promising Sam Prendergast. This is how it should have been, imo, for every game this 6N.
