Ireland coach Eddie O'Sullivan has named recent rugby league convert Brian Carney on the right wing in the team to play Argentina in the first test of the summer tour this weekend.
Carney is the only uncapped player in the starting XV and is joined in the back three by Gavin Duffy, who starts at full back for the first time for Ireland.
There is a new centre partnership in the shape of Andrew Trimble and Kieran Lewis, who starts the game at inside centre. Paddy Wallace will also form the halfback combination with Isaac Boss.
In the forwards, Jerry Flannery starts at hooker for the first time since the summer tour last year. Malcolm O'Kelly also returns to the side after missing the entire RBS 6 Nations Championship due to injury.
In the backrow, Jamie Heaslip makes his second start for Ireland at No.8 and is flanked by Neil Best and the experienced Keith Gleeson.
Ireland coach Eddie O'Sullivan said, 'This tour is about allowing players to challenge for the World Cup squad and it starts this weekend in the first test against Argentina.
'Players have to put their hands up over the next two weeks to put their case forward. Now that might put pressure on players, but there is no more pressurised an environment then international rugby and the world cup, so this will be a good test for them.'
Ireland team: Gavan Duffy, Brian Carney, Andrew Trimble, Kieran Lewis, Tommy Bowe, Paddy Wallace, Isaac Boss, Bryan Young, Jerry Flannery, Simon Best, Trevor Hogan, Malcolm O'Kelly, Neil Best, Keith Gleeson, Jamie Heaslip
