Irish experts to catch the eye of head coach Andy Farrell

Irish experts to catch the eye of head coach Andy Farrell for these are the last two opportunities before he names his roster for the first two games of the Six Nations 2022 - at home to Wales and away to France.

Ireland will play just 16 competitive matches between now and the World Cup. He will not be using inexperienced players for any of the three Tests against New Zealand this summer, Farrell is tasked with doing well in every Six Nations, nor in November's home games against Australia and the world champions South Africans.

So if you're not in Farrell's mind right now, there are very few chances to suggest you could be when the World Cup comes around.

Here are five Irish rugby players who will need big appearances over the next two weeks to capture their roles in Ireland's rugby journey to the 2023 World Cup.

James Hume (Ulster) - Ireland has no shortage of strikers, last year we had two on the Lions Tour and many thought Garry Ringrose should be with Bundee Aki and Robbie Henshaw. But Hume is now pushing hard for the trio's place in Ireland. He's big, he can challenge and Hume can gap opponents, he's strong. Great so far this season, Hume needs two more important shifts and then Farrell can hardly ignore him.

Jack Carty (Connacht) - Carty is now in pole position to serve as Johnny Sextons in the crucial half against number two Ireland Stone, With Joey Carbery out for at least the first two Six Nations races. Carty has been great at Connacht this season and his game management has improved. It's been two big weeks for him.

Ryan Baird (Leinster) - The athletic Baird in the second row isn't even sure he's playing against his county, Leinster coach Leo Cullen has so many resources at his disposal that it's a giant. But with Ireland's options on the horizon, he's really hoping for a chance to flex his muscles against Montpellier and Bath.

Nick Timoney (Ulster) - We are strong in the middle, but in the back row Andy Farrell really has a lot of his wealth. He can choose from three qualitative back row combinations. However, it is difficult to see how he can ignore flanker Timoney's claims to the Irish squad. Timoney has been great at Ulster all season and is a fantastic player.

Gavin Coombes (Munster) - Coombes, 24, is just getting ready for an international rugby match. He can play in the back or second row, which is exactly what international coaches like to be versatile. The Coombes, capped by Ireland last year, are ready for the next step. In two weeks he wants to see his name in the light.
