Ireland have added three new players to their squad for the match against Wales as the injuries continue to pile up following the opening two games of the Six Nations, according to a report on BBC Sport.
Garry Ringrose has recovered from an ankle injury which kept him out of recent matches and has been included in the squad to give manager Joe Schmidt more option in the midfield.
Ringrose is expected to fill in for the injured Robbie Henshaw, who has been ruled out for up to four months with a bad shoulder injury which he picked up whilst scoring a try against Italy in the second round of fixtures.
23-year-old Ringrose has made 11 appearances for Ireland so has enough experience to be able to handle the occasion.
John Cooney and Niall Scannell have also been called into the squad to cover for Luke McGrath and Rob Herring, who unfortunately picked up injuries on the weekend.
Ireland are currently at the top of the table on score difference after winning their opening two matches against France and Italy but know that Wales will pose a different threat to them on Saturday at the Aviva Stadium.
Ireland looks like the most likely side to stop England from creating history as Eddie Jones’ side look to become the first ever team to win three Six Nations titles in succession.
