Ireland begin their Nations Championship autumn campaign this Friday night with a tough test against Argentina at the Aviva Stadium.
Andy Farrell's side face a challenging run of fixtures, including a meeting with the Springboks, and will be keen to make a strong start ahead of finals weekend.
With that in mind, here is our predicted Ireland XV to face Argentina.
Farrell's squad largely picks itself, particularly with the injuries to Jack Conan and Caelan Doris.
The main question is whether the head coach opts for any rotation, although that seems unlikely given Argentina's quality.
Hugo Keenan, Mack Hansen and Rob Baloucoune have established themselves in the back three, while Stuart McCloskey looks certain to start at inside centre after some impressive recent performances.
Robbie Henshaw gets the nod at outside centre, with Garry Ringrose and Bundee Aki also considered. However, McCloskey and Henshaw appear to be Ireland's strongest partnership.
Jamison Gibson-Park is another guaranteed starter, provided he is fit.
Fly-half is the most difficult position to call, with Ciaran Frawley and Sam Prendergast competing for the role following Jack Crowley's injury.
Prendergast has struggled to impress in recent outings, making Frawley the more appealing option.
Both players have plenty to prove as they battle to become Crowley's deputy ahead of the World Cup.
The front row of Andrew Porter, Dan Sheehan and Tadhg Furlong looks settled, with Furlong now available after avoiding a ban. Joe McCarthy and James Ryan are the established second-row pairing.
Tadhg Beirne and Josh van der Flier complete the back row, with Sean Jansen coming into the side following Doris' injury.
