The big news is that Lebanon will be without star stand-off Adam Doueihi through a one-match ban for “foul and abusive language” towards the referee in Lebanon’s defeat to New Zealand. Ireland meanwhile are as strong as ever with the likes of Richie Myler, Luke Keary, the Senior twins and the King brothers set to be central to the game.
