Leeds prop returns for Ireland in place of Amor
Ireland coach Mark Aston has recalled Leeds prop Luke Ambler for Saturday's clash with Wales.
Ambler takes the place of Wakefield front rower Kyle Amor, who will lead Cumbria in their match against England Knights at Whitehaven.
There is one other change to the side beaten 26-6 by Scotland in Glasgow last Sunday as Sheffield Eagles winger Tim Bergin, who has completed a one-match suspension picked up in the Championship Grand Final, returns in place of Halifax's James Haley.
Sheffield stand-off Pat Smith has been added to the squad as cover for Paul Handforth, who sustained a knock in the Scotland game.
"The domestic lads were really good and have shown that they can cope at this level," said Aston. "We just got to learn as it's a learning curve for everybody."
