]]> The Ireland under-20’s team has been announced ahead of their match against England in Cardiff, with a triple crown at stake.

Props Temi Lasisi and Sam Illo return to the starting lineup as the side continue to manage their resources carefully.

Hooker Ronan Loughnane will start for the third game in a row, one of eight to do so.

Alex Soroka and Harry Sheridan remain the second-row partnership for the side with an unchanged back row also.

The backline also remains identical after stellar performances against Wales from players like scrum-half Nathan Doak.

Cathal Forde and Shane Jennings start at 12 and 13 once again after impressive outings against Scotland and Wales.

Jamie Osborne and Ben Moxham join them to maintain their 100% starting percentage while Chris Cosgrave joins them in the back three for the second game in a row.

Last week’s starting props Jack Boyle and Mark Donnelly will be sat on the bench at kick-off alongside try-scorer Daniel Okeke and others.

Thursday night’s game will kick off at 8 pm in Cardiff Arms Park and will be shown live on RTÉ News Now and RTÉ Player
