Head Coach Cullie Tucker has named the Ireland XV Match Day Squad for Friday night's clash against England 'A' at Thomond Park (Kick-off 7.15pm, live on Premier Sports).
Connacht's Billy Bohan has been named at prop in a front row that contains Gus McCarthy and Scott Wilson, while Charlie Irvine and Fineen Wycherley are behind them.
Cullie Tucker has been chatting to Galway Bay FM's William Davies.
Leinster's Max Deegan leads the side from blindside flanker and is joined in the back row by Bryn Ward at openside and Brian Gleeson at number eight.
On the bench, Connacht are represented by Jack Aungier, Paul Boyle, Matthew Devine, Cathal Forde and Sean Jansen.
Shane Daly, James Hume and Ciaran Frawley all add international experience to the backline, while Deegan, Gus McCarthy and Fineen Wycherley are named in the pack by Tucker.
Shane Daly, Zac Ward and Joshua Kenny start in Ireland XV's back three, with James Hume joined by Dan Kelly in midfield. There is an all Leinster half-back pairing as Fintan Gunne starts at scrum-half alongside Ciarán Frawley at out-half.
Friday's meeting with England 'A' is another valuable opportunity for players of national interest to stake their claim in a green jersey, with a number of players rewarded for their impressive Provincial form in recent weeks.
Friday's match is live on Premier Sports, and General Sale tickets are available on Ticketmaster.ie.
