Kilkenny man Tim Corkery will start for the Irish U20’s when they take on Wales in the U20 Six Nations round two clash against Wales at Cardiff Arms Park on Friday at 8 pm.

The local man goes in at out-half for the game, he was on the bench for the opening game.

Ireland opened their 2021 Championship campaign with a bonus-point win over Scotland last weekend and Murphy has made six changes in personnel to his starting XV for Friday’s showdown against the hosts.

Alex Kendellen, who was player of the match in Round 1, once again captains the side from the back row as Ireland bid to make it two wins from two in Cardiff.

There are three changes in Ireland’s backline with Chris Cosgrave named to start on the left-wing, while Nathan Doak and Tim Corkery come in at scrum-half and out-half respectively.

Former St Michael’s man Cosgrave is joined in the back three by Jamie Osborne and Ben Moxham, with the all-Connacht midfield partnership of Cathal Forde and Shane Jennings remaining unchanged.

There are two alterations in Ireland’s front row as Jack Boyle and Mark Donnelly are promoted off the bench to start either side of hooker Ronan Loughnane, while Alex Soroka switches from the back row to join Harry Sheridan in the second row.

With Soroka moving to number four, Donnacha Byrne comes in at blindside flanker alongside Oisin McCormack and Kendellen in the back row, with Murphy also shuffling his resources on the replacements bench.

The Ulster trio of George Saunderson, Jude Postlethwaite and Conor Rankin are included in the Match Day squad for the first time, while Munster’s Fearghail O’Donoghue – who has been called up to replace the injured Darragh Murray – could also make his Ireland U20s debut.
