Ireland U20 boss Doak makes seven changes for Scotland clash
There are seven changes to the starting team that fell 69-22 to New Zealand last Wednesday.
The back line sees Clarke Logan, Sam Wisniewski, Gene O'Leary Kareem, Eoghan Smyth and Paidi Farrell start against the U20 Scotland side.
Mahon Ronan comes into the second row and Bobby Power joins the back row as Oisin Minogue moves to number eight.
Luke McLaughlin, Paddy Moore, Tom McAllister, Billy Corrigan and Eanna McCarthy are the forwards available on the bench, with backs Will Wootton, Jonny Scott and Charlie Molony completing Ireland's 23.
Even if Ireland finish bottom — with the loser of their clash with Scotland facing either Georgia or Spain — they are unlikely to be relegated as World Rugby proposes increasing this tournament from 12 to 16 teams in 2026.
Ireland: D Green; P Farrell, C Mangan, E Smyth, G O'Leary Kareem; S Wisniewski, C Logan; A Usanov, H Walker - captain, A Mullan; M Ronan, C Kennelly; M Foy, B Power, O Minogue.
Replacements: L McLaughlin, P Moore, T McAllister, B Corrigan, E McCarthy, W Wootton, J Scott, C Molony.

Five things we learned from the Lions' series win over the Wallabies
On the whistle A penny for the thoughts of match officials, a community that takes an enforced vow of silence, foisted on them by world Rugby. This series reminded everyone that it is impossible to get uniformity when it comes to some of rugby's laws. Putting aside the large dose of subjectivity that infected the debate around 'Ruck-gate,' in the second Test, and the advocacy for penalty or no penalty, none of World Rugby, supporters, players, former players, media and pundits were able (or in some cases willing) to adjudicate clearly, and say definitely and publicly what the correct decision should have been in Jac Morgan's clear-out of Carlo Tizzano. The reason? They can't. Too often the breakdown's a lottery. The officiating in the third Test was very poor. Too many cheap shots allowed to go unpunished. Way too lax, especially in the conditions. Collectively weak from the officials. Who is Ireland's greatest ever Lion? Listen | 26:49 Player welfare Garry Ringrose's decision to speak up when he found himself unable to shake off concussive after effects struck the right sort of blow for the future wellbeing of a sport. It also served as a reminder that for all the protocols in place around brain injury and head trauma, unless the players are willing to be forthright in communicating how they feel in the wake of such incidents, there will remain a grey area surrounding the return to play protocols. It's not an exact science and should never be regarded as such, but that advocacy has to come from those who experience the symptoms. Slogans like 'when in doubt, sit them out' push the right policy, but the players have to play a part. Garry Ringrose during the Lions' game against the First Nations & Pasifika XV in Melbourne. Photograph: James Crombie/Inpho It took courage for Ringrose to make his decision, the right one, and therefore miss out on fulfilling a childhood dream of playing in a Lions Test match, but his selfless act will hopefully encourage others to be similarly brave. Commander-in-chief Putting aside the relative strength or otherwise of rugby in Australia ahead of the three Tests, the series was hotly contested and Andy Farrell did a great job – despite watching his side lose the Third Test – and in the process reminded all of his standing as a coach. It has not always been an easy task on the basis that potshots were taken as to the number of Ireland/Leinster players in the squad, particularly when the injury-forced call-ups rolled in, but he consistently made informed decisions that had the desired and pivotal effect. Lions head coach Andy Farrell ahead of the Lions' final Test against the Wallabies in Sydney. Photograph: David Davies/PA Perhaps the most obvious one to focus on is in Farrell ignoring the flak about selecting Tadhg Beirne and Tom Curry in the backrow for the first Test. Not only did they produce performances of rare quality in that match, but the former won player of the series, while Curry could only have been a fingernail behind. A favourite to lead the Lions in four years to New Zealand all things being equal in the interim. Forwards win matches The old rugby adage that 'forwards win matches and backs decide by how much,' was given further credence by this series. In the first Test, the Lions' pack dominated the collisions and the gainline for nearly two-thirds of the match, thereby allowing their halfbacks to boss the game and give the three-quarter line the perfect possession and position to play off that dominance. It was only when Australia got a foothold in the game physically following replacements on both sides that they were able to close the gap. Lions forwards Tadhg Beirne, Ben Earl and Tom Curry after the third Test against the Wallabies. Photograph:It was the reverse in the second Test as the Wallabies, with Rob Valetini and Will Skelton to the fore, won the contact battle and therefore were able to play off that front foot ball to great effect. Again, it was the bench, this time for the Lions, that turned the game in their favour, but unlike the Wallabies the previous week, they managed to find the winning line in the nick of time with Hugo Keenan's late try. In the third Test the Wallabies' pack won the match. Home-side pride Winning the third Test represents a huge shot in the arm for rugby in Australia and momentum that Joe Schmidt 's side can hopefully take into the Rugby Championship despite the short-term compromising travel logistics.

Photograph:The Wallabies were convincing winners in the final Test but it may inspire some frustration on their part that they let a winning position slip through their fingers in the second Test. How much of an edge being 2-0 up in the series took off the Lions' performance in Sydney will be a subject of debate but Australia deserve credit for the way in which they managed the conditions to not alone be physically dominant but also technically better in several facets of the game, notably the lineout, the breakdown and the kicking game. Schmidt has pulled together a squad that shows promise and ultimately one that Les Kiss will look to build on from November.

New-look Ireland aim to start World Cup green wave against Scotland
Ireland's World Cup preparations step up a gear this afternoon with Scotland the visitors to Cork's Musgrave Park (2pm, live on RTÉ Radio 1). It will be Scott Bemand's first chance to see where his charges, minus the star power of Erin King, Dorothy Wall and Aoife Wafer, are following an intense training camp that began in June. Wafer, the Six Nations players of the tournament, is recovering from MCL surgery after injuring her knee in training earlier this summer. The 22-year-old may play some part in the showpiece in England but the soundings from camp suggest the opening two games, against Japan on 24 August and Spain a week later, will come too soon. There's a fair argument that they are the three players who Ireland could least afford to lose. While relatively new to international XVs, King and Wafer have been revelations and the standouts as Ireland took down New Zealand last year in the WXV1. Wall, who debuted in 2020, has more experience under her belt but found a rich vein of form before suffering the Achilles' injury against Scotland in April. It's a triple whammy and a body blow to the squad and their hopes of reaching the semi-finals and being World Cup "contenders", as they put it. But, as they are also fond of saying, every unfortunate injury presents an opportunity and Bemand will get to see first-hand if the new crop can step up to the plate as they start their self-styled 'green wave' World Cup tilt. Connacht back row pair Ivana Kiripati, 21, and Ailish Quinn, 19, will make their debuts, starting and off the bench, and Exeter centre Nancy McGillivray has also been parachuted into the squad. She was not included in the original training panel announced but the 22-year-old, who has previously trained with the Red Roses, gets her shot. Ireland, two places above Scotland in the World Rugby rankings at five, are not weak in the centre. Aoife Dalton, Eve Higgins and Enya Breen are proven international performers so McGillivray will have her work cut out to break into the squad that travels to England. But the return of some familiar faces offsets the inexperienced trio and captain Sam Monaghan joins Eimear Corri-Fallon in the second row, both having spent a year away from the international scene through injury. Béibhinn Parsons, 23, who suffered two separate leg breaks over the last 14 months, is also back and how Bemand would love to see the Sevens flyer get on the ball and remind Irish fans what she was all about when she burst onto the scene as a teenager. "We have three new caps this weekend and we're all really excited for everyone to see what Ivana, Nancy and Ailish can do, because they've come seamlessly into this group," said Higgins, who will win her 27th cap against a Scotland team showing six changes to the side beaten 34-29 by Italy last weekend. "Ivana has been around us for a long time now, and everyone's so happy to see that she's getting an opportunity now to put the green jersey on. "And the same with Nancy and Ailish, they've come in this summer and have been absolutely brilliant in training. "Everyone's very excited to see those few girls represent the country for their first time and then to welcome Sam and Béibhinn back this weekend, that's huge. "All of us have seen the amount of work that both of them have gone through and put through in the gym over the last year, pretty much and we're all very excited to finally get to see them in green again." Recent games between these sides have been close affairs with four of the last five ties being decided by just one score. Ireland lost to a last-gasp try to Bryan Easson's side at the end of the Six Nations (above) despite dominating possession and territory. A rudimentary error of failing to kick the ball dead at the end of the first half also cost Ireland dear. For all the hosts endeavour and opportunity, they must learn to be clinical when chances arise. Although result is secondary in this game, and in the step-up-in-class encounter next week against Canada, they are on the eve of a World Cup campaign where getting out of a pool containing Japan, Spain and New Zealand is the least that's expected. "We've had seven weeks of training in terms of building cohesion, which we've made brilliant strides in," said Bemand, whose side contains 11 changes from their last outing against the Scots. "We've got the two games coming, and there's a plan in terms of building cohesion to get into the group stages. "There's elements of Scotland where there's certain things that we need to see." Ireland: Méabh Deely; Béibhinn Parsons, Nancy McGillivray, Eve Higgins, Amee-Leigh Costigan; Dannah O'Brien, Molly Scuffil-McCabe; Siobhán McCarthy, Clíodhna Moloney-MacDonald, Sadhbh McGrath; Eimear Corri-Fallon, Sam Monaghan (capt); Grace Moore, Ivana Kiripati, Brittany Hogan. Replacements: Neve Jones, Niamh O'Dowd, Linda Djougang, Fiona Tuite, Deirbhile Nic a Bháird, Ailish Quinn, Emily Lane, Enya Breen. Scotland: Chloe Rollie; Rhona Lloyd, Emma Orr, Lisa Thomson, Lucia Scott; Hannah Ramsay, Caity Mattinson; Anne Young, Lana Skeldon, Elliann Clarke; Emma Wassell, Rachel Malcolm (capt); Rachel McLachlan, Alex Stewart, Evie Gallagher. 2023: Scotland 36-10 Ireland, The Hive, Edinburgh, Six Nations

Gerry Thornley: Family matters as Lions tour nears its finale
Sunday Bye bye Melbourne. Another checkout, a last internal flight and a last check-in the day after the night before. 'Robbed' screams one of the back page headlines and one can't help but feel that in such a fiercely competitive sports market for hearts and minds, and eyes and ears, the controversy over the endgame to that brilliant second Test served to keep a focus on the Wallabies and this Lions tour. Moving on from AFL territory in Melbourne, it's quickly clear from the screens in bars that Sydney is all about rugby league. Monday The Lions have a 'down day' and so after penning the column there's a chance to stroll down to Darling Harbour and see some of Sydney's sights, all the more necessary given forecasts of gloomy weather later in the week. Tuesday The last of the winter sunshine and the best day of the week. READ MORE It begins with a 10.30am press conference in the Museum of Contemporary Art, where the great and good of World Rugby and Rugby Australia have gathered. They have invited the media along to unveil the ticketing strategy for the 2025 World Cup in Australia. There's a frisson of tension in the air as two days beforehand the CEO of Rugby Australia Phil Waugh said he would be seeking 'accountability' from World Rugby, and he was in proximity to the latter's CEO Alan Gilpin. Gilpin clearly wasn't happy with Joe Schmidt questioning the governing body's 'player safety push' in light of the officials not penalising Jac Morgan for his clear-out on Carlo Tizzano and so disallowing Hugo Keenan's match-winning try. He said World Rugby supported the officials but, puzzlingly, would not be publicly stating whether the governing body deemed the much-debated decision to be correct or not. The ticketing strategy was tastefully and stylishly presented. World Rugby chairman Brett Robinson said RWC 2027 would be 'the biggest and most accessible' tournament in history. To that end, one million tickets will be available for under AUD$100 (€56) and will start at AUD$40 (€22.50) for adults while children's tickets available from just $20. The tournament, to be held in September/October, will be hosted across seven cities; Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, Newcastle and Townsville, with the final being held in Sydney. This launch had been brought forward by 24 hours, ostensibly due to Robinson's busy schedule, and so affords a magnificent view of Sydney's Harbour Bridge and Opera House, especially from the adjoining balcony where Gilpin conducts a briefing with the media. It would be interesting to know which would be more expensive, two tickets for a New Year's Eve gathering in the Museum of Contemporary Art or the next World Cup final. From there, it's an Uber to the Lions media day, including an audience with Dan Sheehan. Even by the standards of exclusive, high fee-playing schools which the Lions have used as training bases, Shore School is on a different level. It's doubtful any school on the planet has a better view of Darling Harbour, the bridge and Opera House. The Sydney Church of England Grammar School, to give it its proper name, is an independent Anglican school for boys located on Sydney's Lower North Shore. Its 136 years old and effectively has two campuses. Rugby union is its main sport and tuition fees range from €24,325 to €26,000. Wednesday The rain comes. Some go whale watching, but fail to spot any whales, while a gang of us take a train to Bowral for a lunch in the Centennial Vineyard, which has an open fire and a very Christmas-like feel. Great lunch, great company, great day, so great choice. A very, very quiet night ensues. Some of us bump into Dan Sheehan's parents, Sinead and Barry, our new sometime and entertaining diarist in The Irish Times . This ensures an even quieter night. Thursday Dual team announcement day, and this week they don't clash. So first an Uber to the Wallabies' hotel, the Intercontinental Double Bay, a 15-minute drive across Sydney to the Financial District for an audience with Joe Schmidt. His mood still seems a little down, although he palpably perked up when asked a couple of questions about Tadhg Furlong, whom he identified as a future star in the making and fast-tracked him into the Irish team. But he conceded: 'It's an incredibly deflated group. Tuesday was tough actually to get them up off the canvas and today there was a little bit of an upswing. We've just got to keep that momentum. Hopefully they can be sharp at the captain's run tomorrow and then springboard their way into the Test match. 'It is a challenge because all that emotional and psychological energy that was expended, the way things finished, the sense of frustration. It's almost like a grieving process by the time they've gone through those first few days. Giving them time to breathe a bit and then try to elevate the spirits and the tempo.' Maybe he's playing possum? There follows an Uber to the Lions team hotel, the Intercontinental Sydney, which Google Maps says is an 18-minute drive away. It's not. In addition to the rain, it transpires there's been a crash on Sydney Harbour Bridge, reducing traffic to one lane, and the ripple effect combined with the weather reduces the city to gridlock. We abandon our driver, who could still be there, to instead walk. He apologises but it's not his fault. We make the audience with Andy Farrell and Tadhg Furlong. It's the same hotel where the Lions stayed 12 years ago, where Ireland stayed five years ago and where Farrell held a press conference after calling up his son Owen four weeks previously. We then go to the same restaurant we were in that night. Four weeks. It's flown. It's been a blast really. Friday A bleak, miserable, rain-sodden day. You wouldn't put the cat out. Lie low and work. Families are such a huge part of tours and Farrell, who was always amazed that they were largely peripheral in his playing and coaching career in both codes, goes out of his way to make them a big part of the experience. Bumped into the McCarthys – Joe senior, Paula, and brothers Paddy, a Leinster prop of huge potential, and Andrew, a Leinster 'Culture Captain'. In contrast to, say, the travelling Ringroses and van der Fliers, who must have spent a small fortune to ultimately console Garry and Josh, the McCarthys are phlegmatic about Joe being restricted to just the first 45 minutes of the series. So too, seemingly, is Big Young Joe, as Farrell once called him. And who knows, maybe the McCarthys will be in New Zealand four years hence, supporting two of their boys in the Lions squad.
