Allen Clarke's selected side shows four changes from their last outing in the Georgian capital which they lost 19-8 to the South Africa President’s XV.
Eoin Griffin makes his return to the starting line-up at outside centre, as does Rob Herring who is named at hooker.
David O'Callaghan joins fellow Munsterman David Foley in the second row and number 8 Eoin McKeon makes his first start of the tournament in place of Robbie Diack, who is unavailable due to a calf injury.
Sunday's match will be streamed live on the IRB website, and sees the Irish youngsters bidding to end the competition on a winning note.
Emerging Ireland are third in the standings on four points - a point behind hosts Georgia, who face the table-topping South Africans in the final round. Uruguay are bottom and without a point after losing to the South Africans (37-9) and Georgia (27-3).
