Ruddock makes three changes to PwC U20 team to play France <\/p>\n
PwC Ireland U20 coach Mike Ruddock has made three personnel and once positional change to the team to face France in the Stade Maurice Trelut on Friday night.<\/p>\n
Cian Kelleher switches from the wing to full-back with David Busby taking a place among the replacements and Alex Wootton coming into the side on the wing. The UCD half-back combination of Nick McCarthy and Ross Byrne are replaced by Jack Cullen from Bruff and Lansdowne’s Conor McKeon.<\/p>\n
Sean O’Brien continues in the role of captain and is again partnered by Ross Molony in the second row. A win for Ireland U20 will secure a top half finish and deny the French the grand slam.<\/p>\n
PwC U20 Head Coach, Mike Ruddock, commented, “The result against Italy got us back on track and this weekend we face a strong French outfit that are going for the Grand Slam. We have brought in a couple of new faces and there is an opportunity for these players to show what they can deliver against quality opposition.\u201d<\/p>\n
