Robbie Henshaw has been named in Ireland's starting lineup as one of 11 changes for their match against Italy at the Olympic Stadium on Sunday.

In the pack, flanks Jordi Murphy and Chris Henry make way for Sean O'Brien and Peter O'Mahony, with Paul O'Connell back at No 5 lock and Iain Henderson at No 4.
And in a new-look front row, Mike Ross, Rory Best and Jack McGrath are elevated to the run-on XV at the expense of Nathan White, Richardt Strauss and Cian Healy.
