Joe Schmidt had named his Ireland team to face New Zealand at the Aviva on Saturday.
The starting XV features four changes from the side which defeated Argentina over the weekend.
Into the starting line-up comes Devin Toner in place of Iain Henderson in the second row. The Ulsterman takes a spot on the bench. Also in the forwards, Dan Leavy replaces the injured Sean O'Brien. Leavy came off the bench against Argentina when O'Brien suffered a fractured arm.
At full-back, Roy Kearney will play instead of Jordan Larmour. The exciting 21-year-old is among the replacements. At outside centre, Ulster's Will Addison is replaced by the fit-again Garry Ringrose.
