YOKOHAMA, Japan: Ireland winger Jacob Stockdale will miss having the experience of Keith Earls and Rob Kearney beside him in Sunday's World Cup opener but is relishing the prospect of playing in a new look back three who love to attack.
"Obviously it's a loss to not have Rob and Earlsy in the back three with their experience but I think Andrew Conway and Jordan have played a lot of rugby with Ireland and I've played a lot with them," Stockdale told a news conference on Saturday. The 22-year-old Larmour burst on the scene two years ago, winning his first Irish call up while still technically a member of the Leinster youth academy having only made his debut for the province four months earlier.While the blistering start to his Leinster career has plateaued a little, the speedy Larmour has shown flashes of his promise at international level, including a hat-trick against Italy a year ago.
He finally won his first Ireland cap in 2017 and has become a dependable and dangerous backup for coach Joe Schmidt.
