The match kicks off at 3pm on Sunday
Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt has named a 37-man squad for the fourth round of the 2019 Guinness Six Nations.
Tadhg Beirne, Rob Herring, CJ Stander, Garry Ringrose, Ross Byrne and Kieran Marmion are all included in a wider training squad, with Schmidt due to named his starting CV and replacements on Friday afternoon. The inclusion of so many senior stars is due to the amount of senior stars carrying knocks and the fact that there are no Guinness PRO14 fixtures slated for this weekend.
Herring comes into the squad off the back of a hat-trick on Ulster duty, against Dragons, last weekend while Marmion scored two tries in Connacht's win over Ospreys. Both of those men could feature in the matchday squad while Ringrose and Beirne will be pressing for starting roles.
