HEAD COACH ANDY Farrell has named his Ireland Men’s Match Day Squad for Saturday’s 150th Anniversary Test against Australia at a sold-out Aviva Stadium .
In addition to the Anniversary celebrations, it also promises to be a special occasion for Cian Healy as he is set to become Ireland’s most capped player of all time, moving to 134 caps and past Brian O’Driscoll should he come off the replacements bench on Saturday. In the pack, Andrew Porter, Rónan Kelleher and Finlay Bealham start in the front row, with Joe McCarthy and James Ryan in the engine room, and Tadhg Beirne, Josh van der Flier and captain Caelan Doris making up the back row.
Backs Craig Casey, Jack Crowley and Garry Ringrose complete the Ireland Match Day Squad for the final Test of the year.
