Multiple Changes in Ireland, Wales, Scotland U20s for World Rugby Championship Clashes

Ahead of crucial World Rugby Under-20 Championship matches, Ireland, Wales, and Scotland have all made significant changes to their squads in hopes of improving their standings. Ireland's head coach Neil Doak has made four changes for their must-win game against New Zealand, including introducing Oisín Minogue to the back row and Conor Kennelly at lock; Ireland must secure a bonus-point victory or win with limited points conceded to advance to the semi-finals. Wales, following defeats by Argentina and France, have made 10 changes for their final pool game against Spain, aiming to finish fifth as they are no longer in contention for top-tier playoffs. Scotland, facing a strong South African side, have also refreshed their lineup with 10 changes, including first starts for multiple players, focusing on damage limitation and preparing for lower-tier playoffs given their two earlier losses. These adjustments reflect each team's strategy to maximize their performance and secure the best possible placement in the tournament's concluding stages.
