Junior Wallabies head coach Nathan Grey has named three Waratahs in a new-look lineup to face Ireland in the team's second pool game at the World Rugby U20 Championship 2023 in South Africa.
Grey has made ten changes to the starting side from last Saturday's victory over Fiji, NSW Waratahs Teddy Wilson and Jack Bowen have been selected as the starting halves and Henry O’Donnell has been named in the centres to make his U20 Championship debut.
The match will be available live and on demand on Stan Sport, along with all other Junior Wallabies games and other key fixtures from the tournament.
"After a promising start to the tournament with a bonus point win over a strong Fiji side, the next opportunity to represent the jersey has arrived for 23 Junior Wallabies," Grey said.
"For some of them it will be their first opportunity in the tournament but as a team we will continue to build on our performances to date.
"Ireland has been the benchmark in the Under-20 Six Nations for the last two years and their draw against England last weekend was a high quality match.
"We're excited to test ourselves against a Northern Hemisphere team for the first time in four years and keen to deliver a performance that showcases both our attacking style and our commitment in defence."
