Six Munster Players to Face Spain U20s Tomorrow

Ireland Men’s U20 Head Coach Neil Doak has named his Match Day Squad, sponsored by PwC, for Saturday’s game against Spain in the 2025 World Rugby U20 Championship.

The game kicks off at 14.30 (Irish time) in Stadio San Michele in Calvisano, Italy, and will be streamed live on RugbyPass TV.

There are eight changes to the starting team from their loss to Scotland last Monday. The back line sees Tom Wood start in the 10 position, Derry Moloney and Charlie Moloney start on to the wings, as Jonny Scott comes into the centre.

In the pack, Tom McAlister joins the front row, David Walsh and Donnacha McGuire make up the second row and Captain Eanna McCarthy starts at number 7.

Luke McLaughlin, Paddy Moore, Jack Ryan, Billy Corrigan and Bobby Power are the forwards available on the bench, with backs Chris O’Connor, Gene O’Leary Kareem and Paidi Farrell completing Ireland’s 23.
