Ireland Wolfhounds Select

The Irish Wolfhounds side for the clash with Scotland A on Friday in Belfast, shows a raft of changes form the side, then known as Ireland A, that lost narrowly to England Saxons last Sunday.

Connacht pair Fionn Carr and John Muldoon lose out completely and Keith Matthews slips to the bench while there is no place at all in the 22 for  Mick O’Driscoll who captained the side against the Saxons.
