Ireland's coach Declan Kidney has announced that his team will remain the same following their victory at Murrayfield as they line up to face Wales this Saturday.

The game at the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff is a must win for both sides if they are to retain a realistic chance of staying in the running for the Six Nations title.

Eion Reddan retain his place in the team despite the return of O'Leary from injury, while David Wallace will gain his 70th cap for his country.

Wales' fly-half Stephen Jones has been sent to the bench for the Six Nations game against Scotland and replaced by James Hook.

The Welsh selectors have made three changes as they try to improve on a disappointing opening game against England.

British and Irish Lions star Jones had to take a backseat in training after picking up a bump on his neck during the match.

Flannery: missing Six Nations

Reuters

Irish hooker Jerry Flannery has received a six week ban for kicking France’s Alexis Palisson in last Saturday’s match.

The ban means the Munster player will miss the rest of the Six Nations tournament.

Flannery received the ban after attending an independent disciplinary hearing in Dublin on Wednesday.

During Saturday’s match, referee Wayne Barnes only awarded a penalty following the incident. Touch judge Stuart Terheege believed the challenge to be a shoulder charge, allowing the hooker to escape a red card.

Wales have announced a changed line-up for their Six Nations match with England.

Gareth Williams is among those drafted in, replacing Matthew Rees for the Six Nations opener against England on Saturday.

Tom James has also been picked for the Six Nations opening match at Twickenham. Wales coach Warren Gatland had delayed naming his team for Saturday's Twickenham showdown as he was waiting for Ospreys' player Lee Byrne's appeal against a two-match ban.
