Changes made to U-20 squad
The Irish U-20 team are set to face Wales in the IRB Toshiba Junior World Cup this week and today the team for the clash was announced. Several changes have been made to the team due to injury and the need to make some strategic alterations when taking on Wales.
Nevin Spence was injured in the last game and he will be replaced at center by Danny Barnes. Eamonn Sheridan is to accompany him. These are a couple of the changes that have been made to a team that looks very strong and should give the Welsh more than just a run for their money. The Irish would like to move on to play for 6th and 7th place against the winners of the clash between Samoa and France.
