Head Coach Andrew Browne has named the Ireland U20s Match Day Squad, sponsored by PwC, Monday's ninth place semi-final against Fiji at the World Rugby Junior World Championship in Georgia (Kick-off 8.30pm local time/5.30pm Irish time). Sami Bishti captains the side from tighthead prop as Browne’s side bid to finish the tournament strongly in the play-off stages at the AIA Arena in Kutaisi. Charlie Molony is selected at full-back, with Johnny O'Sullivan and Daniel Ryan completing the back three. Jack Deegan and James O'Leary continue their midfield partnership, while Daniel Green is handed the number 10 jersey alongside scrum-half Christopher Barrett. In the forwards, Max Doyle and Duinn Maguire join captain Bishti in the front row. Joe Finn partners Donnacha McGuire in the second row, while Josh Neill, Alex Lautsou and Diarmaid O'Connell complete the back row. The Ireland replacements are forwards Rian Handley, Adam Cooper, Blake McClean, Sean Walsh and Charlie Keane, with backs Luke Coffey, Sean Walsh and Harry Waters completing the Match Day Squad.
