Joe Schmidt has made eight changes to his side for Ireland's second Test match against Argentina.

There's no uncapped players in the starting side, but there are 3 new faces on the bench as the Six Nations champions seek to finish-off the season on a winning note.

Andrew Trimble and Simon Zebo have retained their places on the wings but the rest of the back-line has been significantly altered. Rob Kearney starts at full-back while Darren Cave moves to inside centre to replace his Ulster team-mate Luke Marshall and allow Fergus McFadden to line out at 13.
