Elwood names U-20 Ireland side

Ireland Coach Eric Elwood has made two changes to the starting Ireland U-20 team that faces Scotland at Dubarry Park, Athlone, at 7.35pm on Friday evening.

The two from the side that beat Scotland 17-12 in their last outing at Dubarry Park. Towering second row James Sandford has been ruled out due to injury and his place has been taken by David Nolan, who moves up from the replacements. Local Buccaneers boy Trevor Connelly will take the vacancy on the bench left by Nolan.
