Ireland U20 Team to Play England U20

Matthew Healy starts at scrum half with Conor Murray moving into to the replacements after starting the game against Italy a fortnight ago. Ronan O’Mahony has also moved into the starting XV on the right wing in place of Mark Doyle and Shane Gahan takes O’Mahony’s place on the bench after returning from injury.

Ireland Coach Allen Clark said “Friday’s game v England will test how far we have progressed as a squad. Preparation has gone well and the mood in the camp is very good. We are aware of the challenge ahead and the level of performance required, both team and individual.”
