IRELAND HEAD COACH Andrew Browne has made two changes to his team for Sunday’s U20s Six Nations clash with Scotland at Virgin Media Park [KO 3.15pm, RTÉ 2].
Both changes come in the pack, as hooker Duinn Maguire joins the front row and Donnacha McGuire comes into the second row.
Following last weekend’s 48-33 win over Wales, Ireland go into the final round second in the table, five points off leaders France, and chasing a Triple Crown.
An unchanged backline sees Noah Byrne continues at fullback, with Derry Moloney and Daniel Ryan on the wings.
Rob Carney partners James O’Leary in midfield, while Tom Wood continues at out-half with Christopher Barrett at scrum-half.
Maguire joins the front row alongside props Max Doyle and captain Sami Bishti.
Joe Finn continues at lock, partnered by McGuire, as Josh Neill, Ben Blaney and Diarmaid O’Connell are named in an unchanged back row.
On the bench, Lee Fitzpatrick, Christian Foley, Luke Murtagh, Dylan McNeice, Billy Hayes, James O’Dwyer, Charlie O’Shea and Johnny O’Sullivan are the replacements available to Browne.
Ireland U20s:
