OK Joe, whatever you say.

We were expecting a few changes to the starting line-up against Romania, we we're expecting 12, with only Keith Earls, Jamie Heaslip, and Jared Payne keeping their starting spots.

Realistically we should still be able to get go out there and put Romania away with relative ease. Plus, it gives the rest of the squad a chance to put their hands up before the Italy game.

We've put the squad in writing below, seeing as the IRFU insist on releasing the side via their Twitter handles.

2. Richardt Strauss (Old Wesley/Leinster)
3. Nathan White (Connacht)
4. Donnacha Ryan (Shannon/Munster)
