Daly to centre is a great decision. Farrell to replace Freish doesn’t quiet cut it for me. Plus Abrahams and kilgallon can then play wing instead of Daly.
@Sean O’Maolain: Daly excelled at outside centre when Ireland U20’s reached their first U20 World Cup final
Finally Daly at 13, really hope he goes well, Sean Edogbo is a move too, would prefer Quinn at 7 too
