A few big names are back in the for the second and final Test of Ireland’s summer tour of Argentina.
Last week, most of the Leinster lads were given a rest by Joe Schmidt but after a lacklustre display in Resistencia, a lot of familiar faces are back in the starting XV.
Rob Kearney and Jamie Heaslip are back from the start, as is Eoin Reddan and Fergus McFadden.
In the forwards, Devin Toner is also handed a starting shirt while Rhys Ruddock makes his first start for Ireland, earning his third cap.
McFadden takes on the famous 13 shirt, with Darren Cave slipping into 12. Simon Zebo (main pic) keeps his place on the wing, as does Andrew Trimble.
Three uncapped players are named as replacements. Ulster hooker Rob Herring, Munster prop James Cronin and Leinster’s Noel Reid.
The game will be played in Tucumán and kick-off is at 7.40pm on Saturday.
