Mixed fortunes for Ireland's Canberra connection will see Finlay Bealham win his 50th cap in the Six Nations blockbuster against France while Mack Hansen will have to sit out the huge Six Nations clash with injury.
The Australian pair, who have become key cogs as Ireland shoot for an unprecedented third-straight European title, had both been hoping to play in Saturday's big match in Dublin, but winger Hansen is out with a quad injury.
Bealham, though, has been brought back as starting tight-head prop while Thomas Clarkson drops to the bench and is poised for an emotional day at the Aviva Stadium in front of his Australian friends and family.
