Ireland will open their Nations Championship campaign against Argentina at Aviva Stadium on Friday night, with Casey, Jansen and Timoney taking the field in a back row lineup. Captain Caelan Doris and veteran Jack Conan are absent due to injury. Experienced scrum-half Gibson-Park, who has been Ireland's standout performer recently, is on the bench, while Casey is preferred to start at nine in a half-back partnership with Sam Prendergast.
Timoney, who has missed multiple starts due to injury, will make his ninth consecutive Test appearance, replacing Van der Flier. Robbie Henshaw will wear the number 13 jersey and partner Stuart McCloskey in midfield, with Hansen starting at wing. Ireland's lineup features a mix of regular starters and players returning from injury, as they look to secure a first away win over Argentina.
