Ireland Hand Casey, Jansen and Timoney Starts; Gibson-Park on Bench

Ireland shake up their lineup for Argentina, with Jamison Gibson-Park and Josh van der Flier waiting on the bench at the Aviva Stadium.

Ireland have made their call for Friday night's Nations Championship clash with Argentina. Nick Timoney, Craig Casey and Sean Jansen all get the nod to start at the Aviva Stadium.

The biggest talking points are on the bench. Jamison Gibson-Park and Josh van der Flier, two of the most trusted names in the squad, will begin among the replacements. Casey's start at scrum-half puts the spotlight on how Ireland want to set the tempo early, while Gibson-Park offers an experienced option to change the game later.

Up front, Timoney and Jansen get the chance to make a statement in a back-row unit that is always fiercely competitive. Van der Flier waiting on the bench means Ireland can bring serious experience into the closing stages if the contest is tight.

Argentina are never an easy opponent, and a Friday-night crowd in Dublin will make this a proper test of Ireland's depth. Every player in the matchday 23 now has a chance to show why they belong.
