ONLY three of the Ireland Schools side which trounced Victoria Schools last Wednesday have been included in the team to play New South Wales Country Schools at Wagga Wagga tomorrow.

The three are centre David Johnston, flanker Richard Woods and lock Stephen Kennedy. The replacements will be announced later.

This will be the eighth and penultimate match of the tour for the undefeated Irish. And it will be the last chance for some of the players to bid for places in the Test match against the fill Australia Schools national side in Canberra next Wednesday.
