Mack Hansen will start at full-back for Ireland for Saturday’s November International against Australia.
The Connacht and Lions player returns from a foot injury and he’s joined by James Lowe and Tommy O’Brien in the back-three.
Sam Prendergast has been given the nod at out-half, with Jamison Gibson-Park at scrum-half, while there’s a midfield of Stuart McCloskey and Robbie Henshaw.
Josh van der Flier’s hamstring injury means a switch to openside flanker for captain Caelan Doris, he’s joined in the back-row by Ryan Baird and Jack Conan.
Munster captain Tadhg Beirne partners James Ryan in the second-row, with a front-row of Paddy McMcCarthy, Dan Sheehan and Tadhg Furlong.
