Joe Schmidt announced his 31-man squad for the upcoming Rugby World Cup and there were a few big-name ommissions.

Yesterday’s announcement had a few main talking points, mainly the omissions of usual starter Devin Toner and Schmidt favourites Kieran Marmion and Will Addison.

Looking at the names who missed out and those not even considered, we’ve pulled together a 23-man squad that could give many of the World Cup teams a run for their money in Japan.

  1. Jack McGrath
  2. Rob Herring
  3. Finlay Bealham
  4. Devin Toner
  5. Quinn Roux
  6. Jack O’Donoghue
  7. Tommy O’Donnell
  8. Jordi Murphy
  9. Kieran Marmion
  10. Ross Byrne
  11. Simon Zebo
  12. Stuart McCloskey
  13. Luke Marshall
  14. Dave Kearney
  15. Will Addison
  16. James Tracey
  17. Ed Byrne
  18. Marty Moore
  19. Ultan Dillane
  20. Sean Reidy
  21. John Cooney
  22. Rory Scannell
  23. Darren Sweatnam

** Sean O’Brien and Dan Leavy not considered due to injury.

It’s safe to say, Irish Rugby is not short of depth!

Let us know if you think we’ve missed anyone out!

Here’s the squad Joe is taking to the World Cup.
