The Ireland team to play Wales in Saturday's RBS 6 Nations clash at the Millennium Stadium (kick-off 5pm) has been named.
Head coach Declan Kidney has named an unchanged starting line-up for Ireland's fourth game of the 2011 Championship.
The replacements bench also remains the same from the recent 21-18 win over Scotland, with Leo Cullen recovering from a slight groin problem.
Flanker David Wallace will win his 70th cap when he lines out alongside Jamie Heaslip and Sean O'Brien in the back row. It will also be his 40th appearance in the Championship.
