There is one personnel change and one positional switch to the starting Ireland U20 team to play Scotland U20 in Falkirk from the side that beat England 13  6 in Dubarry Park.

 

Sean OBrien,  has suffered a recurrence of the hamstring injury that forced his withdrawal in the England game in Athlone and his place at No.8 has been taken by team captain David Pollock, who moves from the openside.  

Replacement against France Kevin Sheahan, comes back into the squad and straight into the team to fill the openside berth while Tommy ODonnell, who replaced the injured Sean OBrien in the England game, is also ruled out due to a thumb injury and Eoghan Grace is drafted onto the bench. 

The Ireland Under 20 (v Scotland, Friday, 9th March, 7.30pm Falkirk Stadium.
