One Change To Ireland U-18 Clubs Team

The Ireland Under-18 Clubs team, sponsored by PwC, to play a combined England U-18 Clubs and Schools selection in Ashbourne on Sunday morning (kick-off 11.30am) has been named.

The Ireland starting line-up shows one change to the side that defeated the German Under-18s 54-0 in Berlin last month.

Scrum half Finbarr McGowan picked up an injury in that game so Carlow’s Eoin Stynes starts, with Barry Digby of Buccaneers added to the replacements bench.

Portlaoise lock Eoghan Masterson will captain the side for their second game of the year.
