Moses Meninga, Nixon Put and Wartovo Puara Jr have all been named on the extended bench.
“Last weekend we didn’t know too much about the Wales side so put in four hookers. This weekend against Ireland will be much tougher so we made the change with Kurt starting at hooker and James at first receiver,” says coach Michael Marum.
“Wartovo is still on the extended bench so if there’s any changes to be made, we can always call on him.
“Stargroth missed last weekend so he’s starting from the bench.”
