The Ireland coaching group has named the match day 23 that will take on the USA Eagles at the Red Bull Arena in Harrison, New Jersey on Saturday (10.00pm Irish time).
Jacob Stockdale will make his international debut after being rewarded for a fine season with a place in the starting XV. He will be joined in the backbone by Ulster teammate Luke Marshall.
Rhys Ruddock captain's the side from the blindside flank and is joined in the back row by Josh van der Flier at openside and Jack Conan at number 8. Quinn Roux and Devin Toner are paired in the second row with Cian Healy, Niall Scannell and John Ryan filling the front row positions.
Kieran Marmion and Joey Carbery are named at half-back with Marshall and Garry Ringrose linking up in midfield. Keith Earls and Tiernan O'Halloran are joined in the back three by Stockdale.
The replacements include Dave Kilcoyne, Dan Leavy, Luke McGrath and Simon Zebo as well as four uncapped players – Dave Heffernan, Andrew Porter, James Ryan and Rory Scannell.
