Shanklin wants Wales repeat

Tom Shanklin has called on his Wales team-mates to reproduce the fire and brimstone effort they showed against England for Saturday’s tough RBS 6 Nations Championship appointment with Ireland.

The Saracens centre will win his 11th cap in a much-changed Wales team that sees experienced forwards Jonathan Humphreys, Colin Charvis and Gareth Llewellyn all return, in addition to call-ups for Llanelli wing Mark Jones and Pontypridd prop Gethin Jenkins.
