Four Changes For Munster U19s

Head Coach Noel O’Meara has made four changes to the Munster U19s for their final Interprovincial clash away to Leinster on Saturday at Anglesea Road (3pm).

This game was scheduled to take place in Donnybrook but will now be held at Anglesea Road.

Having won one and lost one, Munster can still take the title if they beat Leinster and Ulster lose against Connacht in Saturday's other fixture with the title then going down to points' difference.

O'Meara has made two changes to his backline with Bandon Grammar's Sean Hudson replacing Jordan Higgins at full-back with Clongowes Wood scrum-half Joe Murphy coming in for Aaron Rice.

In the pack, hooker Tadgh McCarthy, Bantry Bay, takes the place of Diarmuid Barron while Ardscoil Rís no.8 Odhran Ring replaces Jack O'Sullivan.

After a 35-0 win over Connacht on the opening weekend, the Munster U19s were narrowly beaten 15-13 by Ulster in CIT last weekend.
