Up front Jack McGrath holds off the threat of Cian Healy to start at loosehead. He packs down with Rory Best and Mike Ross.
Captain Paul O'Connell is joined by Iain Henderson in the second row while the first-choice back row of Peter O'Mahony, Sean O'Brien and Jamie Heaslip are reunited.
The big calls would have to be Earls at outside centre and McGrath holding off Healy but coach Joe Schmidt has expressed his faith in both men.
