Mon 04 Apr 2007Under-19 World CupIreland v Scotland:Ireland coach Charlie McAleese has made one change from the side that lost narrowly to the defending champions, Australia, for tonight's game, giving his son Harry the starting role at scrumhalf, with Kris Greene dropping to the bench.It will be interesting to note how the home side fare physically after a bruising encounter with the Aussies. McAleese was right to bridle at the labelling of his side as "tenacious" after that match. They showed much more than mere grit.
