Northampton Saints fly-half Dan Biggar has been named on the bench for Wales’ final preparation Test ahead of the Rugby World Cup.
Warren Gatland’s side take on Ireland in Dublin (kick-off 2pm), looking to avenge a defeat on home soil last weekend.
On return from Dublin, Wales will depart for Japan on Wednesday September 11.
“This is our final preparation match so it is important we get enough rugby into us, get rugby ready ahead of our Rugby World Cup opener against Georgia which is just over two weeks away,” said head coach Gatland.
“It is important we hit the ground running in Japan and we give the players enough time on the field.
“Saturday is the first time these players would have taken to the field as members of the Rugby World Cup squad, it has been a big week and it is a big opportunity for players to put their hand up and secure spots for the starting XV in Japan.”
