Devin Toner has been restored to the Irish line-up, all the better to firm up a line-out that didn’t cover itself in glory against Argentina last weekend. With Sean O’Brien out with a broken arm sustained last weekend, Dan Leavy had been slated to replace him, but the flanker has been also been ruled out and stands down with Josh van der Flier taking his place. Ulster’s Jordi Murphy takes his place on the bench.
