Andy Farrell has named his side for the penultimate six nations clash with Wales this Friday night at the Avivia Stadium where kick off is 8:10pm.
The team shows five changes from the side that got the better of England at Twickenham a fortnight ago.
Ulster trio Tom O’Toole, Nick Timoney & Jacob Stockdale come into the team along with Leinster duo Rónan Kelleher & Jack Conan.
There’s no Connacht involvement in the matchday 23, while Caelan Doris continues to captain the side.
Jamison Gibson-Park is set to earn his 50th cap, while replacement scrum half Nathan Doak is in line for a debut off the bench.
The team in full.
