Cian Healy is set to become Ireland's all-time leading caps holder when they host Australia in their final Test of the year on Saturday in Dublin. The veteran prop has been named on the bench and will make his 134th international appearance if called upon, surpassing Brian O'Driscoll's record in the process. Elsewhere, Sam Prendergast is retained at fly-half having made his first start against Fiji last week, with Jack Crowley among the replacements.
In that sense, Saturday's game in Dublin will be a chance for opposite numbers Farrell and Schmidt to assess each other ahead of that three-Test series, having previously worked together on the Ireland coaching ticket. Ireland opened their autumn campaign with a disappointing loss to New Zealand but have since recorded wins over Argentina and Fiji, while Australia beat England and Wales before coming unstuck against Scotland last week.
