Wales Coach Warren Gatland has been forced to make a last minute change to his Triple Crown chasing side for the clash with Ireland at Croke Park this afternoon.
Ospreys hooker Huw Bennett developed flu like symptoms shortly after his arrival in Dublin on Thursday and has been withdrawn from the starting line-up.

Replacement hooker Matthew Rees moves into the side to join Gethin Jenkins and Adam Jones in the front row and Cardiff Blues hooker Gareth Williams joins the replacements.
