Ireland make four changes for World U20 Rugby Championship clash against New Zealand

Ireland head coach Neil Doak has made four changes to the side who lost to Italy for their clash with New Zealand in the World U20 Rugby Championship on Wednesday. Conor Kennelly will start in second row while Oisin Minogue comes in to the back row. Meanwhile, Jonny Scott comes into the centre with Daniel Green starting at full back. The game takes place at 5pm (Irish time) in Calvisano, with the boys in green looking to reach the semi-finals of the competition. They'll be able to do so by winning with a bonus point or winning and restricting the Junior All Blacks to one bonus point. Elsewhere, Charlie Molony moves to the wing alongside Derry Moloney while Ciarán Mangan makes up a midfield pairing with Jonny Scott. Will Wootton and Tom Wood will continue in the half backs. In the pack, Alex Usanov, Henry Walker and Alex Mullan are in the front row, Billy Corrigan joins Kennelly in the engine room, Captain Éanna McCarthy shifts to six alongside Minogue with Luke Murphy again at eight. Luke McLaughlin, Billy Bohan, Tom McAllister, David Walsh and Bobby Power are the forwards available to Doak and his Coaching Team on the bench, with backs Clark Logan, Sam Wisniewski and Gene O'Leary Kareem completing the 23.
