Garry Ringrose to start against the Wallabies

Simon Zebo is named among the replacements.

Garry Ringrose will make his first senior start at inside centre to solve injury-hit Ireland’s midfield dilemma against Australia in The Aviva Stadium on Saturday.

The 21-year-old has not started a game at 12 since turning out for Leinster’s under-20s last season but acquitted himself admirably in the role off the bench against New Zealand last weekend.
