Rob Kearney, Peter O'Mahony and Garry Ringrose will return for Ireland's Rugby World Cup quarter-final against New Zealand in Tokyo on Saturday.
Kearney missed the Samoa game due to a groin injury, but coach Joe Schmidt has gone for the tried and trusted, picking the experienced Leinster full-back ahead of the in-form Jordan Larmour.
Munster captain O'Mahony has got the nod in the back row ahead of Tadhg Beirne, with Ringrose returning at outside centre.
Robbie Henshaw moves to inside centre, as Bundee Aki's tournament is now over due to suspension.
The Ireland team to play New Zealand at 11.15 on Saturday (Irish time) is:
15. Rob Kearney
14. Keith Earls
13. Garry Ringrose
12. Robbie Henshaw
11. Jacob Stockdale

Coach Joe Schmidt says O'Mahony's performance in the win against New Zealand last year played a part in his selection; "saved our bacon last time we played with an exceptional turn and chase and the long arms that he reached out just to pluck the ball in front of Ben Smith, he has been a big moments players for us, and big moments - they count".
