Four changes as U20 boss Nigel Carolan bids to revive flagging Irish fortunes

Ireland coach Nigel Carolan has made four changes to his U20 side for tomorrow night’s clash with England in Newcastle (Sky Sports 3, 6pm).

Carolan admitted he was disappointed with the 34-13 loss in France and said he expected to face an England side brimming with confidence tomorrow.

“We started the French game well, but we let things slip away from us before half-time and never managed to recover. The English side made up for their opening loss to Scotland with a convincing win against Italy, so we are prepared for them to be coming into this game full of confidence.”
