Donncha O'Callaghan and Mick O'Driscoll will form an experienced locking pairing for Ireland while Munster's Tomas O'Leary and Ronan O'Gara make up the halfbacks. Sean Cronin has been named at hooker while John Hayes and Cian Healy join the front row.
Brian O’Driscoll holds on to the captain’s armband while he is joined by Gordon D’Arcy and Tommy Bowe in the back line.
