Tadhg Beirne is set to captain Ireland in their Nations Championship fixture against Fiji this Saturday at Aviva Stadium, Dublin. Head coach Andy Farrell has made seven changes to the team that previously played Argentina.
Among the changes, experienced scrum-half Jamison Gibson-Park returns to the starting line-up. Ronan Kelleher replaces Dan Sheehan at hooker, while James Ryan is promoted to start in place of Joe McCarthy.
Two changes were enforced due to injuries, with hooker Dan Sheehan (concussion) and No 8 Sean Jansen (knee) ruled out. However, wing Rob Baloucoune and Mack Hansen have been passed fit to start, despite previous injury concerns.
