Cian Healy will earn his first Ireland cap against Australia at Croke Park on Sunday and will take his place alongside Flannery and John Hayes, whose IRFU suspension ends on Saturday.
With Flannery declared fit, it means Connacht’s Sean Cronin will deputise from the bench, while John Fogarty will make the trip to Belfast to link up with the Ireland ‘A’ to take on Tonga at Ravenhill on Friday night.
Fogarty will join his brother Denis in Belfast with the latter to deputise for his sibling from the bench.
Today’s announcement shows 13 of those who started against Wales in the final Six Nations as Ireland went on to secure the Grand Slam for the first time in over 60 years.
