A FOOT INJURY has ruled tighthead Craig Trenier out of the remainder of Ireland’s Junior World Championship matches as coach Mike Ruddock makes two changes for the clash with Wales tomorrow morning.
Cork Con’s Darragh Moloney comes into the side in place of lock Stephen Gardiner.
In the only other change to the side who lost 19 – 13 to France, Garryowen’s Alex Wooton takes up a spot on the wing in place of Ian Fitzpatrick.
Trenier was a late withdrawal from the France game and was replaced by Rory Burke in the front row.
There are tweaks to the bench too, with Billy Dardis replaced in the number 23 shirt by Harrison Brewer and Josh Murphy has also been brought into the the matchday squad.
