Dan Sheehan Captains Injury-Changed Ireland Against Wales

Dan Sheehan will captain Ireland for the first time in the Six Nations match against Wales, stepping in for the injured Caelan Doris. Sheehan, who recently returned from an anterior cruciate ligament injury, has been named in a team that sees several changes from the previous match against Scotland, including the introduction of new players and the absence of key figures due to injuries. Interim head coach Simon Easterby acknowledged Sheehan's leadership qualities as essential for the game against a revitalized Welsh side. Ireland remains unbeaten in the tournament, having secured victories against Scotland and England, and will face a challenging atmosphere in Cardiff. The match is set to showcase Sheehan's recovery and growth, as he leads a squad eager to maintain their winning streak. The game will also feature other notable players, including Jamison Gibson-Park and Robbie Henshaw, in a bid to continue Ireland's strong performance in the Six Nations.
