It's an interesting centre partnership.
There are just a couple of changes in the Irish team to face Italy in the RBS Six Nations this Saturday from the one that lost to England a fortnight ago in Twickenham.
The big news is that Jarrod Payne comes in at centre in place of Stuart McCloskey, while Simon Zebo will deputise at full back for the unjured Rob Kearney.
Here is the team...
15. Simon Zebo (Cork Constitution/Munster) 23
