Under-20s Six Nations: Wales make four changes for Ireland

“The boys did a decent job out in Italy and we were happy with certain aspects of our play against France as well, so we’ve given the majority of the squad an opportunity to get a home game under their belts at Rodney Parade,” said Whiffin.

“We’re also trying to keep combinations and connections high for the reminder of the tournament.

“I think the boys put everything into the two opening games and we played some really good stuff in patches, and I was really pleased for the boys to get over the line against Italy.”

Replacements: Evan Wood, Louie Trevett, Owain James, Luke Evans, Caio James, Sion Davies, Harri Ford, Elijah Evans.
