Ireland's Cian Prendergast will make his first test start after being named at No 8 in the side to play England in a World Cup warm-up match in Dublin on Saturday.
The Connacht back-row's previous two caps have come off the bench but the forceful Caelan Doris was instead named among the replacements when coach Andy Farrell named his matchday 23 on Thursday.
Farrell, whose side sit top of the global rankings just weeks away from next month's start of the World Cup in France, has recalled 11 of the team which clinched a Six Nations Grand Slam against England in March.
Centre Garry Ringrose and lock Tadhg Beirne, both injured for that 29-16 win, and flyhalf Ross Byrne join Prendergast in the starting XV, with Munster wing Keith Earls set to win his 100th cap should he come off the bench.

Prendergast took the field in the first half of Ireland's 33-17 win over Italy on 5 August following an injury to Jack Conan.
With Conan still out with a foot issue, the 23-year-old has a chance to provide competition for the influential Doris, man of the match with two tries against the Azzurri.
In the ongoing absence of suspended captain Johnny Sexton, Leinster teammate Byrne has another chance to impress at flyhalf, He will be partnered by scrumhalf Jamison Gibson-Park.
Farrell has selected his first-choice front row of Andrew Porter, Dan Sheehan and Tadhg Furlong, with captain James Ryan and Beirne at lock and reigning world player of the year Josh van der Flier and Peter O'Mahony either side of international novice Prendergast.
Earls is on the cusp of becoming just the ninth Irelanand international to win 100 caps following Brian O'Driscoll, Ronan O'Gara, Cian Healy, Rory Best, Sexton, Paul O'Connell, John Hayes and Conor Murray.
Former England dual-code international Farrell is set to name his final 33-man squad for the World Cup on August 28.
