DUBLIN (Reuters) - Fiji-born winger Henry Speight will make his debut for Australia against Ireland on Saturday after being named in the starting lineup for the third test of the Wallabies' tour of Europe.

The tackle-busting winger qualified for Australia on residency grounds on Sept. 11 but a hamstring injury prevented him from getting any game time during the Rugby Championship.
