Fitzgerald out for clash with Wales

IRELAND’S U-20’s have lost their most experienced player, Luke Fitzgerald, for tonight’s clash with Wales at the Liberty Stadium in Swansea.

Fitzgerald, who won a full Irish cap against the Pacific Islands in November, is out with a neck injury and his place at full back is taken by Seapoint’s Felix Jones.

Newport Gwent Dragons centre Ashley Smith will bridge a four-year gap when he leads Wales.
