Ireland have made two changes to their starting line up for their crucial fixture with Bermuda in the Under 19 World Cup tomorrow.

Wicket-keeper Stuart Poynter returns along with all-rounder Graham Mc Donnell, with the players missing out being Theo Lawson, Andrew Balbirnie and Lee Nelson.

Gavin Mc Kenna has still not recovered from his ankle injury, and is unlikely to play any further part in the competition.

Under pressure Irish coach Brian O' Rourke understands the importance of the game, "It's definitely a must win game for us. We didn't perform to our capabilities last time around, but we've a chance to rectify that, and I'm confident we can do it."

"We've been working hard in practise this week, and I can see a real improvement in the squad. A win here would set us up for a game with Zimbabwe on Saturday, and a chance of beating a Test Nation."

Ireland have been boosted by the news from the Bermuda camp that Christopher Douglas won't feature, having been sent home by the Bermudan management on a disciplinary matter. Douglas  won the MOM Award against Ireland last week by taking 5-40 and scoring 27.
