The Ireland team to play Italy in this weekend's Six Nations game in Dublin has been named.
The game was initially due to be played earlier this year but was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The starting team features two uncapped Leinster players with Will Connors at openside flanker and Hugo Keenan on the wing.
There are two more uncapped Leinster players on the bench with the inclusion of prop Ed Byrne and the now Irish-qualified Jamison Gibson-Park.
