Carlow ring changes for Ballymena clash

Centre Russell Armstrong, second row Louis McGowan and loose head Kent Ashmore come in for Carlow against Ballymena at Eaton Park in the All-Ireland League this weekend.

The home side have lost Irish under 21 out-half Ian Humphreys to a dislocated shoulder and centre Dirk Strysdom to a twisted knee.

Meanwhile Leinster's Nathan Spooner should be included for St Mary's College against Blackrock College at Templeville Road.

Beleaguered Terenure College are light in the back row. Cormac Long and Alan Ryan are struggling to make their trip to Shannon.

Clontarf will have the same team that demolished UCD to welcome Dungannon, who have Jeremy Davidson back, to Castle Avenue.
