Six changes to starting XV from losing side against France, with recalls for Mack Hansen, Garry Ringrose, James Lowe, Jack Crowley, James Ryan and Jack Conan
Ireland faces Italy in the Six Nations with six changes to their starting XV, including recalls for Hansen, Ringrose, Lowe, Crowley, Ryan, and Conan. Following a loss to France, Ireland's title hopes are slim, requiring a bonus-point win against Italy and favorable results from the England-Wales and France-Scotland matches. The match marks farewells to O'Mahony and Murray and a potential new beginning for the squad.
