Italians await as Toner & Co look for redemption

Ireland take on Conor O'Shea's Italy at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on Saturday afternoon (2.25pm) looking to make up for their disappointing defeat to Scotland last week and one of the players the Irish will looks towards in order to restore lost pride is Devin Toner. 

Toner wins his 44th cap when he lines out against the Italians with two changes from the team that lost out to the Scots. 

Donnacha Ryan partners Toner in the second-row instead of Iain Henderson while Cian Healy comes in at loose-head prop to join Rory Best and tight-head Tadhg Furlong. Healy replaces Jack McGrath. 

The team is: Rob Kearney, Keith Earls, Garry Ringrose, Robbie Henshaw, Simon Zebo, Paddy Jackson, Conor Murray; Cian Healy, Rory Best, Tadhg Furlong, Donnacha Ryan, Devin Toner, CJ Sander, Sean O'Brien, Jamie Heaslip. 

Replacements - Niall Scannell, Jack McGrath, John Ryan, Ultan Dillane, Josh van der Flier, Kieran Marmion, Ian Keatley, Craig Gilroy.
