Back-rower Cian Prendergast has been handed his first Ireland start as head coach Andy Farrell names a strong side for Saturday's World Cup warm-up match against England in Dublin.
Eleven of the team that started the win over England in March - a victory which secured the Grand Slam title for Ireland - are named for Saturday evening's match at the Aviva Stadium. Hugo Keenan starts at full-back, with Mack Hansen and James Lowe on the wings and Jamison Gibson-Park at scrum-half. Stuart McCloskey and Robbie Henshaw were the centres against Italy, though neither is named among the replacements.
Ulster's Kieran Treadwell was among five players who were released from Ireland's World Cup squad on Thursday.
