Ulster hooker Rob Herring is set to link up Irish rugby squad ahead of Saturday's Rugby World Cup quarter-final against New Zealand. He will replace Leinster's Sean Cronin - who picked up an injury in training this week. Herring has won eight caps for Ireland and was part of Joe Schmidt's training squad ahead of the tournament. "As a team, we were often gallant losers in my time as a player, we pushed teams close every now and then. We had the odd maybe two or three or four-game winning streak against the top sides and then maybe we’d fall over," he said.
