Six Nations: Ireland has made seven changes for the Wales Conflict, as Dan Sheehan appointed a return captain to the beginning of XV | News of rugby
Six nations leaders Ireland made seven changes on Saturday to face Wales in Cardiff, and Dan Sheehan returned to the initial XV as a captain.
The combination of injuries and the opportunity to turn against the Velska side out of shape led to Stando-In-Irish-Isterbie coach Simon Easterby called changes to meet at the Principality Stadium Stadium.
Captain Ireland and no. 8 Caelan Doris, Hooker Ronan Kelleher and Prop Tadhg Furlong were excluded from the node earlier this week.
Sheehan, who introduced the bench in Ireland’s opening of two nodes as he intensified from a serious knee injury suffered last July, will be the first time the captain of his country.
Jack Conan enters no. 8 To start his first test of last year’s six nations, after he also started finding his best form after an injury.
Jamie Osborne starts his first six nations from his full back, while Leinster Hooker Jack Boyle is ready to make his Irish debut after being named on the bench.
By the way, Thomas Clarkson performs his first Ireland in the second change in the first place, while fellow attackers Gus McCarthy and Cian Prendergast could have performed their first six nations after being appointed as a replacement.
Mack Hansen returns to his lap, while Garry Ringrose joins Robbie Henshaw in the center as Bundee Aki goes down to the bench.
Two victories of two – against England and Scotland – put Ireland on the Grand Slam course, with the most obvious obstacle to that outcome that will come when France visits Dublin in the next round of fixing from March 8.
Wales was under the temporary accusation Matt Sherratta after the departure of Warren Gatland after 14 consecutive defeats of the test, the last of which he went to Italy in the previous round.
