Six Nations strugglers Wales make three changes for Ireland clash

Injuries see fly-half Dan Edwards, who started the opening two games against England and France, replace Sam Costelow, with James Botham in for Taine Plumtree as the back-row makes his first start of the tournament. Alex Mann switches to blindside flanker to accommodate Cardiff team-mate Botham, the grandson of England cricket great Ian Botham. Ellis Mee also returns on the wing in place of Gabriel Hamer-Webb, who made his Test debut in an agonising 26-23 loss at home to Scotland last time out -- Wales' 14th successive Six Nations defeat.
