Jamie Heaslip will captain Ireland tomorrow as Joe Schmidt's side line-out for the first time since the Six Nations win with a stern test against the Barbarians in Thomond Park.

The Baa Baas named a very strong team yesterday and Ireland have followed suit for what promises to be a very entertaining clash.

Leinster pair Colm O'Shea and Tadhg Furlong are the only uncapped members of the starting XV with a number of fringe members of Joe Schmidt's squad given a chance to impress from the start.
