The Irish are heavy favourites to return to winning ways in the Autumn Nations Cup.

Ireland scrum coach John Fogarty is braced for a relentless physical battle with Georgia and believes remaining calm, controlled and cohesive will be key to success.

The Irish are heavy favourites to return to winning ways in the Autumn Nations Cup against a team which is yet to register a point in the competition.

Head coach Andy Farrell has made a raft of changes for the final Group A fixture, naming an experimental line-up in the wake of last weekend's disappointing loss to England.

"You'd hope to see some of the learnings tomorrow.

"Certainly around our set-piece, we want to make sure that we put out a good performance.

"In and around the drill in our line-out and around the bind phase in our scrum, they're the two parts we've specifically looked at. There are other pieces in there as well."

Ireland's personnel changes include a full debut for fly-half Billy Burns and a first international appearance in two years for centre Stuart McCloskey.

Lock James Ryan will once again captain the team in the continued injury absence of Johnny Sexton, while Shane Daly could make his debut from the bench.
