This is for all the gingers...

The stubborn performance by Munster's pack that drove them to Heineken Cup glory has forced Michael Bradley with the easiest decision of naming seven of the pack that destroyed Toulouse in the side to face New Zealand.

Had Alan Quinlan been fit, it could've been more with Jamie Heaslip forming the back-bone of the pack at number eight.

If Munster's gritty army of forwards will lead from the front, the penetration will come from Magners League champions, Leinster with Luke Fitgerald, Brian O'Driscoll, Rob Kearney and Shane Horgan int he backs.

Scrum-half Eoin Reddan said: "We've got a team full of individual belief, and it's about getting a collective belief now."

IRELAND: 15 Robert Kearney, 14 Shane Horgan, 13 Brian O'Driscoll (captain), 12 Luke Fitzgerald, 11 Tommy Bowe, 10 Ronan O'Gara, 9 Eoin Reddan, 8 Jamie Heaslip, 7 David Wallace, 6 Denis Leamy, 5 Donncha O'Callaghan, 4 Paul O'Connell, 3 John Hayes, 2 Jerry Flannery, 1 Marcus Horan. Reserves: 16 Girvan Dempsey, 17 Paddy Wallace, 18 Peter Stringer, 19 Shane Jennings, 20 Mick O'Driscoll, 21 Tony Buckley, 22 Rory Best.
