Stander, Murray, Earls & Zebo To Face Australia.

Four Munster players have been included for Ireland’s final Test of the Guinness Series against Australia at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday. Number 8 CJ Stander and scrum half Conor Murray remain in situ while Keith Earls comes onto the left wing with Simon Zebo moving to the bench.

Ulster’s Rory Best will win his 100th cap as he leads the team out on Saturday – becoming only the fifth Irish player to reach the century milestone after Leinster’s Brian O'Driscoll (133) and Munster’s Ronan O'Gara (128), Paul O'Connell (108) and John Hayes (105).
