Leinster hooker James Tracy and Ulster lock Kieran Treadwell have been handed their first starts for Ireland in Saturday's second Test with Japan in Tokyo. Head coach Joe Schmidt has made six changes from last week's win over Japan. Tracy takes over from Niall Scannell, Treadwell comes in for Quinn Roux, while Josh van der Flier returns at the expense of Dan Leavy.
