With Andy Farrell and Simon Easterby part of the Lions coaching staff in Australia, O'Connell has stepped up as caretaker coach this summer.

He'll be in charge of a much-changed Ireland side – without the 16 players that Farrell has taken Down Under as well as captain Caelan Doris and Robbie Henshaw due to injury – with two debuts confirmed and more expected from the bench.

Georgia, who beat Wales in 2022 and Tonga and Japan last year, are the dominant force in European rugby outside the Six Nations, and will see the arrival of the tourists as an opportunity for a historic scalp.

The second and final stop on Ireland's tour of Europe will see them face Portugal in Lisbon next weekend.
