Six Nations: Wales given boost ahead of Ireland tie with Rhys Priestland and Jamie Roberts back from injury We are two sides who know each other well, Ireland will not have enjoyed losing to us in New Zealand, they will want to redress the balance in Dublin this weekend, but they will find us in just as determined mood. Elsewhere in the starting XV, Scarlet Jonathan Davies is reunited with Roberts in midfield and Bayonne scrum half Mike Phillips also returns. Davies replaces his regional colleague Scott Williams and Phillips replaces Blues half back Lloyd Williams, with both departing players providing cover from the bench. Ospreys and British and Irish Lions prop Adam Jones returns to the front row alongside Gill and Bennett. The final change from the Australia match sees another Osprey Ryan Jones come into the back row for injured Dragon Dan Lydiate (ankle), lining up alongside captain Sam Warburton and No 8 Toby Faletau. The second row duo of Ian Evans (Ospreys) and Bradley Davies (Blues) is retained, with this pairing giving the side a different look as neither figured in the RWC showdown with Ireland. Wales team to play Ireland: Leigh Halfpenny; Alex Cuthbert, Jonathan Davies, Jamie Roberts, George North; Rhys Priestland, Michael Phillips; Toby Faletau, Sam Warburton (capt), Ryan Jones; Ian Evans, Bradley Davies; Adam Jones, Huw Bennett, Rhys Gill Replacements: Ken Owens, Paul James, Andy Powell, Justin Tipuric, Lloyd Williams, James Hook, Scott Williams
