Caelan Doris will miss Ireland’s Six Nations match against the reigning grand slam champions Wales because of a head injury, with Peter O’Mahony recalled in his place.

Doris has been subject to return-to-play protocols after the back-row was forced off inside five minutes of his international debut during the win against Scotland on Saturday.

In the other change to Andy Farrell’s starting XV, the Ireland head coach has selected Robbie Henshaw at outside centre in place of the injured Garry Ringrose.

Ringrose was taken off at half-time against the Scots because of a hand problem and has also been ruled out of Ireland’s trip to face England at Twickenham this month.

Farrell’s enforced reshuffle means the Leinster back-row Max Deegan could make his debut from the bench, while the wing Keith Earls is also included among the replacements.

With the 21-year-old Doris unavailable for the match in Dublin this weekend, CJ Stander switches to replace him at No 8, with the experienced O’Mahony coming in to win his 66th cap at blindside flanker.

Stander was Ireland’s standout performer against Gregor Townsend’s Scotland side after moving into the centre of the back row following Doris’s collision and subsequent early departure.

Tadhg Furlong has overcome tightness in his calves to start in the front row, while fellow prop Dave Kilcoyne retains his place among the replacements, despite sustaining a head injury after coming off the bench against Scotland.
