Davidson, Quinlan, Robinson named in A team

IRELAND has made three changes in its side for the A international against Italy in Rovigo on Friday night.

With Rob Henderson and John Kelly promoted to the senior squad for this weekend’s RBS Six Nations clash in Rome, the Irish management have brought Leinster centre David Quinlan into the midfield while a fit-again Ted Robinson is named on the wing.

The other change from the side which drew with Scotland A last weekend, is in the second row where Jeremy Davidson comes in, Mick O’Driscoll dropping to the bench. Munster winger Mossie Lawlor is brought on to the replacements’ bench.
