Ireland has named an unchanged side for this weekend’s Six Nations clash with Italy at Lansdowne Road.
Coach Declan Kidney picked the same XV that had been due to play France a fortnight ago before the match in Paris was called off at the last minute.
The game will see centre Gordon D’Arcy win his 65th cap for Ireland, 13 years after making his debut against Romania in 1999.
The uncapped Peter O’Mahony is included on the bench.
