Joe Schmidt has named his Ireland side to start against Australia in the second test of the November internationals. The most surprising changes from last week's win against Samoa come at scrum-half where Eoin Reddan replaces Conor Murray and at inside centre where Luke Marshall will play instead of Gordan D'Arcy.

Man of the match from last week, Jack McGrath, is on the bench with Cian Healy playing as expected.

Cian Healy, Rory Best, Mike Ross, Paul O'Connell (Captain), Devin Toner, Peter O'Mahony, Sean O'Brien, Jamie Heaslip, Eoin Reddan, Jonny Sexton, Fergus McFadden, Luke Marshall, Brian O'Driscoll, Tommy Bowe, Rob Kearney.

Replacements:

Sean Cronin, Jack McGrath, Stephen Archer, Mike McCarthy, Kevin McLaughlin, Conor Murray, Ian Madigan, Robbie Henshaw.

In all Joe Schmidt has made six changes from the Samoa game as Paul O'Connell comes into captain the side with Sean O'Brien and Jonny Sexton also included.
