Celtic battle.

Head coach Andy Farrell has made two changes to his Ireland team for this weekend’s Six Nations Round 2 clash with Wales at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.

With Garry Ringrose and Caelan Doris both ruled out through injury, Robbie Henshaw comes in to replace his provincial teammate in the centre with Peter O’Mahony taking Doris’ place in the starting XV.

CJ Stander moves to eight with O’Mahony coming in at blindside with the rest of the starting XV unchanged from the side that defeated Scotland 19-12 on the opening day.

On the bench, Keith Earls comes back in as cover for the backs with Max Deegan set to make his debut as cover for the back-row. Dave Kilcoyne has been passed fit and will once again provide loosehead cover from the bench.
