Change of plans.
Following multiple leaks this morning, Ireland are set to announce their 31-man World Cup squad in the next hour.
All teams must submit their teams to World Rugby today, but Ireland were hoping to hold off until this Sunday before officially revealing their squad to the public.
But it appears those plans have been altered with a number of big decisions being reported across multiple outlets this morning, including the expected surprise omission of Devin Toner.
As soon as we have the official squad we’ll be sure to publish it.
Ireland squad will be announced by the IRFU in the next hour, six days ahead of schedule
