Craig Gilroy will win his first cap for Ireland

;

21 year old Ulster wing Craig Gilroy is a having a week he'll never forget. Just last Saturday he made his first appearance in an Irish jersey in Limerick when Ireland crushed Fiji. Although it was an uncapped match, Gilroy was star of the show and bagged himself three tries in the demolition.

The Antrim native comes into the side in place of club mate Andrew Trimble. Gilroy who has been Ulster's top try scorer for the last two consecutive seasons takes his place in an exciting 3/4 line that includes Simon Zebo and Tommy Bowe.
