Ireland Under-20 head coach Neil Doak is sticking to his guns, making just three changes to his side for Friday evening’s final Six Nations clash agaiinst Italy in Treviso (KO 7.45 Irish time).

Italy have also won just once this season and come into this tie on the back of a heavy defeat away to France and a 33-24 defeat in England last weekend.

Elsewhere, winless Scotland take on Wales who sealed their first U20 Six Nations over Ireland since 2017 with a hard-fought and spirited 20-12 victory at Newport's Rodney Parade. It secured back-to-back victories in the championship and a much-needed boost for Welsh rugby.

THREE Ulster players have been given places in the starting XV as Ireland round off their U20 Six Nations campaign in Rome. Henry Walker and Clark Logan have been promoted from the bench to replace Mickey Yarr and Will Wooton at the hooker and scrum-half positions respectively.

HEAD Coach Neil Doak has named his Ireland Men's U20s Match Day Squad for Friday night's U20s Six Nations clash against Italy at Stadio Comunale di Monigo, kick-off 7.45pm Irish time.

Ireland know a win is a must if they are to preserve they faint Six Nations title hopes as they take on Italy on Super Saturday. The grand slam dreams were dashed by a drubbing at the hands of France in the penultimate round to leave Les Bleus in control of their own destiny as they prepare to take on Scotland in the championship denouement.
