Ross Byrne is the starting outhalf for Ireland against Italy in the Six Nations Championship this Saturday - making his third international start.

Two of the six changes made to the team that started the win against France are in the half-back line with Craig Casey making his first Six Nations start at scrum-half.

Johnny Sexton will watch from the stands but Conor Murray is on the bench alongside Stuart McCloskey who's replaced in the centre by Bundee Aki.
