It marks the second occasion the Leinster number eight has been named as the starting captain of his country after he was also given the job during this year’s Six Nations victory over Italy.
Tadhg Beirne, who was at lock during the 27-20 first Test defeat, shifts to blindside flanker to replace O’Mahony. James Ryan, who came off the bench, comes into the starting side at lock.
