Rugby:Mick O'Driscoll will captain the Ireland A team when they take on the Argentina Jaguares in Friday's historic first rugby international to be played at Tallaght Stadium.
The side shows seven full internationals in the starting XV and 13 players who were involved in the Churchill Cup victory during the summer.
Ireland A recorded a convincing 48-19 win over Tonga at Ravenhill last time out and the team to play the Jaguares in Tallaght has 10 changes from the starting XV against Tonga.
Felix Jones will start at fullback in place of Gavan Duffy while both wings have changes in personnel with Ian Dowling replacing Shane Horgan and Johne Murphy - who was on the bench against Tonga – to start in place of Andrew Trimble.
Fergus McFadden moves to outside centre instead of Darren Cave and Keith Matthews is rewarded with a start 12. Ian Humphreys is retained at outhalf and will be partnered by his Ulster team mate Isaac Boss.
John Fogarty, who was originally due to play against Tonga but remained with the senor team as cover for Jerry Flannery, starts at hooker in place of his injured brother Denis.
There are two new secondrows in Ryan Caldwell and captain O’Driscoll as Devin Toner is rotated out and Donnacha Ryan starts in the backrow. Ryan is joined by Niall Ronan at openside, in place of Sean O’Brien, and John Muldoon who will play number eight, with Chris Henry starting from the bench.
Kick-off on Friday night is 7.30pm
