O'Mahony out for U-20s

Coach Allen Clarke will have to plan without captain Peter O'Mahony, following a citing, when the Ireland U-20s play New Zealand in their second Junior World Championship pool game in Nagoya on Tuesday evening (kick off: 11am Irish time).

Rhys Ruddock will start in the no. 8 spot in place of O’Mahony who is unavailable after being suspended for one match following a citing during the opening game against Argentina. Ruddock's older brother Ciaran will lead the side in O'Mahony's absence.
