No change for Irish U20s
Coach Allen Clarke has chosen the same side to keep the Ireland Under 20s on track for the Six Nations Championship against Scotland this Friday in McDiarmid Park, Perth.
Prop Adam Macklin and out-half Andrew Burke do come onto the bench for Jack O'Connell and Gary Foley, respectively, as the only two changes to the squad.
Clarke said “The win against England was a reflection of the strength of the squad's character and resolve. However, there were particular aspects of our game we were not content with and these have received special attention this week.
“Scotland has shown they are a team to be reckoned with and respected, particularly at home. We are aware of the competitive challenge ahead and the levels of performance required. Our aim is clear - to keep progressing and improving as individuals and ultimately as a team”.
