Unchanged Line-up For The Irish

Ireland have named an unchanged line-up for their crunch Celtic battle with Wales in the Six Nations Championship.

With Rob Kearney fit again after a knee injury, it was expected that he would slip back into his full-back berth.

But Geordan Murphy has been given another chance to shine, after Ireland coach Declan Kidney noted that he warranted a second go.

The defending champions are favourites for the game, with Extrabet(Go to Extrabet ») and Bet365(Go to Bet365 ») offering odds of 2/7.

Ireland's captain Brian O'Driscoll will win his 100th cap in the game, a week after his teammate John Hayes achieved the accolade.

O'Driscoll said: "I do know there is an end line in sight so now it's about trying to attain as much as possible in that time."

Tommy Bowe has scored the last two tries for the emerald isle and he can be backed at 8/1 with William Hill(Go to William Hill ») to open the scoring this weekend.
