Ross set to face Eagles

DECLAN KIDNEY has made just one change to the Ireland team to play the USA on Sunday in Buckshaw Stadium, Santa Clara just outside San Francisco.

Tight head prop Mike Ross comes into the front row to make his first start after coming off the bench last Saturday against Canada to win his first cap.

Ross’s inclusion means Tony Buckley moves from the right side of the scrum to loose head prop. The reshuffle sees Tom Court move to the replacements to fill the vacancy made by Ross’s elevation to the starting team.
