Ireland name team for Wales game
By Nathaniel Cope
Ireland will be without Tadhg Furlong and Iain Henderson for their Natwest 6 Nations match against Wales on Saturday.
Andrew Porter replaces his Leinster teammate Furlong at tighthead. Furlong hasn't recovered from the hamstring injury he suffered against Italy, when he pulled up in the third minute.
A hamstring problem has also ruled out Henderson, with James Ryan coming back into the team to partner Devin Toner.
Ryan missed the game with Italy due to a groin injury.
Munster's Chris Farrell is named at centre in place of Robbie Henshaw, who has been ruled out for the rest of the 6 Nations with a shoulder injury.
Both Farrell and Porter will be making their first 6 Nations starts.
