Andrew Porter and TadHG Beirne, who were criticized by France's head coach Fabien Galthie for their share in the violation of the time of the season of Antoine Dupont, are retained in the Irish pack.

Galthie reported both players for the cited commissioner of the game, but no measures were taken against them, and Porter later refused to play the coach.

Lowe, a withdrawal at the last minute from the France game because of a back cramp, returns on the left wing when Hansen is used again after recovering from a quad problem.

Calvin Nash and Jamie Osborne, the starting wings against France, fall out of the squad.

“While it was disappointed last weekend that certain aspects of our performance are disappointed, we are grateful for the chance to get back on the horse this week.

“We have shown our resistance in recent years and I have no reason to assume that the game in Rome will be different this weekend.”
