Ireland v Australia: Centre Stuart McCloskey keeps Irish place with Bundee Aki on bench

Stuart McCloskey is a member of the Ireland team that will play Australia in Dublin on Saturday.

McCloskey is one of the replacements on his return from suspension.

Johnny Sexton is expected to return after missing last weekend's game with a dead leg.

Jimmy O'Brien played well in the wins over South Africa and the Fijians.

When O'Brien replaced McCloskey in the middle of the game against South Africa, he moved to the left wing.

Mack Hansen will play on the right wing for the first time in his life, as he faces the country of his birth for the first time after changing his loyalties from Australia to Ireland.

Aki was suspended for seven weeks after he was sent off in the Rugby Championship.

Ireland head coach Andy Farrell has made eight changes to the starting XV that played against Fiji.

In place of the injured Henshaw, Hugo Keenan takes over at full-back, while Andrew Porter and Dan Sheehan are in the front-row, with Tadhg Furlong captaining the side.

There are two changes in the back row with Josh van der Flier and Peter O'Mahony coming back in and Caelan Doris moving to number eight.

There is a chance that lock Joe McCarthy will make his senior international debut after he is named on a replacements bench that includes Cian Healy, Jack Conan and Rob Herring. Robert was dropped from the squad.

Ireland began their Autumn Nations series with a 19-16 win over South Africa.

The Australians will return to Dublin for the first time in two years on Saturday, when they face Ireland.

Ireland: Ringrose, McCloskey, O'Brien, Sexton, O'Mahony, Van der Flier, Van der Flier.

The replacements were Herring, Healey, Bealham, McCarthy, and Conan.

Australia has Kellaway, Nawaqanitawase, Ikitau, Paisami, Wright, White and others.

The replacements are Robertson, Tupou, and Gordon.
