Ireland Under-20s head coach Richie Murphy has made nine changes to his team for Wednesday’s Six Nations clash against Italy at Cardiff Arms Park (Kick-off 2pm, live on RTÉ2).
Captain Alex Kendellen shifts to openside flanker as Murphy manages his resources for Ireland’s fourth game of the 2021 Championship in Cardiff.
With Kendellen switching to the number seven jersey, powerful Munster backrow Daniel Okeke comes in to win his first start of the campaign at number eight, with Alex Soroka named at blindside as Ireland bid to bounce back from their defeat to England.
There are three further changes in personnel in the pack, with George Saunderson and Eoin de Buitléar selected in the frontrow and Mark Morrissey returning to the secondrow alongside Harry Sheridan.
James Humphreys has recovered from a facial injury sustained in the opening win over Scotland to start at outhalf, while Nathan Doak continues in the number nine jersey.
There is a new-look Ireland midfield with Ulster duo Jude Postlethwaite and Ben Carson in line for their full debuts having featured off the bench during the opening three rounds of action.
Leinster’s Jamie Osborne makes his third start of the Championship at fullback, with Conor Rankin and Chay Mullins named on the wings for the meeting with the Azzurri.
Murphy is eager for players to take their opportunity on Wednesday night: “We’ve had to dust ourselves down following the disappointment of last week and the focus of the group has been really good as we bid to bounce back against Italy.
“It has been a demanding schedule but this presents players with opportunities and there are a number of guys who have worked really hard to earn their selection this week. We’re looking forward to seeing them in action in the green jersey.”
