Another sizeable leak in the good ship IRFU, or a plethora intrepid journalists all guessing the same starting XV?
Ireland coach Joe Schmidt is, according to widespread reports, set to axe the two best players from his starting line-up for Sunday's clash with France.
The Kiwi is said to have decided on bringing in Devin Toner for the in-form Iain Henderson and dropping Keith Earls from his squad completely.
Despite being able to cover either wing and outside centre, it seems Schmidt has opted for Simon Zebo as cover across his backline.
Jared Payne and Rob Kearney come back into the squad, following injuries, while Cian Healy is to replace Jack McGrath in the front row.
The Irish team will be officially announced at 2pm today.
PREDICTED IRELAND XV
Rob Kearney; Tommy Bowe, Jared Payne, Robbie Henshaw, Dave Kearney; Johnny Sexton, Conor Murray; Cian Healy, Rory Best, Mike Ross; Devin Toner, Paul O'Connell; Peter O'Mahony, Seán O'Brien, Jamies Heaslip
Replacements: Jack McGrath, Seán Cronin, Nathan White, Iain Henderson, Chris Henry, Eoin Reddan, Ian Madigan, Simon Zebo.
