They probably can't afford to be hanging in against a Welsh side that put 40 points on Italy in Cardiff. With Dave Kilcoyne and Tadhg Furlong injury doubts going into the week ahead, they'll have limited on-pitch time to solve those issues. Considering an out-of-position George North is a Welsh weak-link defensively, the Ulster man could be the man for the job. An injury update is expected from the IRFU today, before Ireland name their team to play Wales tomorrow.
