Eleven players that took part in that senior tour have remained on for the Churchill Cup and nine of those players are involved the upcoming game against Canada.  In the pack, Bryan Young and Sean Cronin start at prop and hooker respectively with Tony Buckley, who played the full test match against Canada last month and scored a try, selected at tight head.

Donnacha Ryan and Devon Toner make up the second row partnership with Chris Henry, another member of the senior tour party selected at No.8.  Ireland A tour captain John Muldoon, after starting both test matches last month, is picked among the replacements with Neil Best and Sean OBrien selected after helping both their club and provincial sides achieve European success. 

Niall OConnor is handed his first start of the summer at out half to be partnered by captain of the day Isaac Boss, who is one of only two members in the backline to be capped, with full back Denis Hurley the other.
