Ireland under-20 coach Eric Elwood has opted for a change at outhalf ahead of the final Six Nations game against England in Gloucester.

Ireland are currently fourth in the table and go in search of their third win of the tournament against England tomorrow, with Elwood hoping Martin Dufficy's replacement Ian Madigan, of Blackrock College and Leinster, can lead the way.

Dufficy, also of Leinster, is named among the replacements in the only change from the 11-6 defeat to Wales in Athlone.

The former Ireland outhalf is looking for more precision from his charges in Kingsholm against the side who lead the championship with four wins in as many games.

"We were obviously disappointed to come out with a loss last Friday in Dubarry Park in such a tight game.  This week we need to improve our accuracy and be as tight as possible in all aspects of our play if we want to come out of Kingsholm with a result on Friday night.

"England obviously have a lot of quality in their side judging from their performances so far and have been without doubt the top side in the competition, but a lot of the players in our squad this year have all developed really well over the last couple of games and are looking forward to try and finish the championship with a bang," added Elwood.

Replacements: Stephen Douglas, Stephen Archer, Ian Nagle, Trevor Connelly, Ian Porter, Martin Dufficy, Eamonn Sheridan
