Rory McIlroy and Ian Poulter team up for Saturday's fourballs as Europe look to keep lead on day two of 2014 Ryder Cup... and here's our verdict of the pairings!

• Europe's Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson will verse Bubba Watson and Matt Kuchar after the pair dominated their USA counterparts on Friday
• Jamie Donaldson and Lee Westwood should have been used for Friday's opening fourballs, and they will now against Jim Furyk and Hunter Mahan
• Thomas Bjorn and Martin Kaymer to verse Patrick Reed and Jordan Spieth
• Rory McIlroy and Ian Poulter versus Jimmy Walker and Rickie Fowler

Rory McIlroy and Ian Poulter find themselves paired for Saturday morning's fourballs against USA's Jimmy Walker and Rickie Fowler in the 2014 Ryder Cup.

McIlroy and Poulter found themselves on different losing teams on Friday morning, but the European duo will be keen to fare better this time around. 

So, how do all the pairings look? Sportsmail's Derek Lawrenson delivers his verdict here.

 

Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson versus Bubba Watson and Matt Kuchar

Not quite the home banker for the awesome twosome like it was on Friday against Bubba and Webb Simpson. But almost.

Verdict: Europe

+5

Not quite the home banker for Justin Rose (right) and Henrik Stenson but the Europe duo will be keen to repeat

Bubba Watson: I don't hate Justin Rose... he lives in the US!

 

Jamie Donaldson and Lee Westwood versus Jim Furyk and Hunter Mahan

The Englishman and Welshman should have been used in the opening fourballs and they’re beginning to look like an irresistible combination.

Verdict: Europe

+5

Lee Westwood (left) and Jamie Donaldson should have been used in the opening fourballs and they will now

 

Thomas Bjorn and Martin Kaymer versus Patrick Reed and Jordan Spieth

Can the brilliant American pairing on the opening morning recapture their momentum after being stupidly benched by Watson?

Verdict: America

+5

Martin Kaymer (right) and Thomas Bjorn will take to the course on Saturday morning for their fourball match

 

Rory McIlroy and Ian Poulter versus Jimmy Walker and Rickie Fowler

Another pairing that should have seen the light of day on the opening morning. Should be a heck of a match.

Verdict: Europe 

+5

Ian Poulter will team up with Rory McIlroy on Saturday morning to face their American counterparts

+5

Rory McIlroy will team up with Ian Poulter and possibly should have on the opening Friday morning as well

Rory McIlroy: It was nice for Sergio and I to finish with...
