Joe Schmidt has named his Ireland team to face Wales in the final round of the Guinness Six Nations on Saturday.

It sees three changes from the team which defeated France on Sunday.

Into the backrow comes Sean O'Brien to replace Josh van der Flier who was injured during the first half of that win against France.

There is also a change in the second row with Tadhg Beirne taking the place of the injured Iain Henderson.

Rob Kearney returns at fullback in place of Jordan Larmour. Kearney was originally named in the starting team to play the French but was replaced just prior to kick-off due to a tight calf.
