Andy Farrell has named his Ireland team to face Wales on the second weekend of this year's Six Nations.

The team sees two enforced personnel changes and one positional change from the side which defeated Scotland last weekend.

In the backline, Robbie Henshaw replaces Garry Ringrose who went off at half time against Scotland with a broken finger. Ringrose is set to miss the games against Wales and England.

The other change sees Peter O'Mahony take Caelan Doris's spot in the starting line-up. Debutant Doris was forced off just minutes into the encounter with Scotland after being involved in a clash of heads. O'Mahony slots in at blindside while CJ Stander switches to number eight.
