Cian Healy is set to equal Brian O'Driscoll's Ireland cap record after being named on the bench for Friday's autumn international against Argentina.
Five-time Six Nations winner Healy will move alongside Brian O'Driscoll on 133 Ireland caps if he is used off the bench on FridayCommentary on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra, BBC Sounds and BBC Radio Foyle; live text commentary on the BBC Sport website & app
The 37-year-old prop will draw level with the former Ireland captain on 133 appearances if he is introduced against the Pumas., with Robbie Henshaw's inclusion at inside centre ahead of Bundee Aki - who does not make the squad - the only alteration to the starting line-up. Fly-half Jack Crowley, who was withdrawn after 58 minutes, is retained alongside Jamison Gibson-Park in the half-backs ahead of the all-Leinster centre partnership of Henshaw and Garry Ringrose.
“For Tom and Sam, their promotion to the match day squad for the first time is testament to their form, talent and application over the last number of weeks and we congratulate them on their selection," said Farrell.With Tadhg Furlong still injured, Finlay Bealham is again selected at tighthead prop alongside Andrew Porter and Ronan Kelleher, but Tom O'Toole's concussion has opened the door for 24-year-old Leinster forward Clarkson.
