Tigers star Geordan Murphy has won a recall to the Ireland XV for this Sunday's crucial Rugby World Cup clash with Marcelo Loffreda's Argentina.
Murphy missed out on selection for Ireland's heavy defeat at the hands of France last weekend but has now been named at full back for his country's final pool match in Paris.
The leading try-scorer in the current Tigers squad comes in in place of the injured Girvan Dempsey for his first start of the tournament.
With France expected to pick up five points from their match with Georgia at 2pm on Sunday, Ireland are likely to face a huge task when they kick-off against the Pumas two hours later. Having lost to the hosts and failed to pick up a bonus point in the win over Georgia, Ireland will need to score four tries and prevent the Argentinians from picking up a losing bonus point in the Parc des Princes.
Ireland
Murphy; Horgan, O'Driscoll, D'Arcy, Hickie; O'Gara, Reddan; Horan, A N Other, Hayes, O'Callaghan, O'Connell, Easterby, D. Wallace, Leamy
Replacements
A N Other, S Best, O'Kelly, N Best, Boss, P Wallace, A Trimble
