Flick through the nine changes Andy Farrell has made for Saturday’s meeting with Fiji, and the alterations made to the bench, and the most pertinent difference this week is Joey Carbery’s introduction at out-half.

The Munster 10 has 36 caps now but the vast majority have come off the bench. His last start for Ireland was seven appearances ago, against Italy at the start of February, and he remains the most likely deputy for Johnny Sexton as the World Cup looms.
