Time to freshen things up.

Ireland take on South Africa, Fiji and old rivals Argentina next month in this year’s Autumn international series and Joe Schmidt has some big decisions to make.

You’d imagine the Ireland boss will probably go with an experienced outfit for the games agains the Boks and the Pumas, but the Fiji game in the middle gives him a huge opportunity to once again test out some fresh faces.

We saw Schmidt do this over the summer in the USA and Japan, but now it’s time to give these lads a run out at the Aviva. Here’s a team we reckon would be interesting to see.
