Mack Hansen is back for Ireland for their final Six Nations clash with Italy in Rome, still harbouring faint hopes alongside his Canberra colleague Finlay Bealham that they can lift a third straight title.
But while Ireland's Australian pair are back in tandem, Scotland's former Wallaby Jack Dempsey has been struck by an injury which will force him out of their team for the tournament's climax against title favourites France in Paris on Saturday.
Winger Hansen has had a frustrating tournament, having to come off with a gashed leg in the opening game against England, then missing both the matches against Scotland and France with injury.
