One change for Ireland's U20s

There is one change to the starting Ireland U20 team to play the England U20s in Dubarry Park, Athlone on Friday night from the side that beat France 19-16 in their last game.

Sean O’Brien has recovered from the hamstring injury he suffered in the opening game of the championship against Wales and returns to No.8.

This means captain David Pollock moves from No.8 to openside, with Tommy O’Donnell moving back to the replacements instead of Kevin Sheahan.
