Sexton starts

Conor Heneghan

It’s a big day for Jordi Murphy.

Jonathan Sexton will start for Ireland against Argentina on Sunday, having recovered from the groin injury that forced his withdrawal against France last Sunday.

Keith Earls is also deemed fit to start in the centre having come off early last week, while the injured Paul O’Connell and Peter O’Mahony are replaced by Iain Henderson and Jordi Murphy respectively.

Chris Henry deputises in the back row for the suspended Sean O’Brien and apart from that it’s as you were for what is an absolutely massive encounter in Cardiff on Sunday.

Come on Ireland!

Ireland team to play Argentina: Rob Kearney; Tommy Bowe, Keith Earls, Robbie Henshaw, Dave Kearney; Jonathan Sexton, Conor Murray; Cian Healy, Rory Best, Mike Ross; Devin Toner, Iain Henderson; Jordi Murphy, Chris Henry, Jamie Heaslip.

Replacements: Richardt Strauss, Jack McGrath, Nathan White, Donnacha Ryan, Rhys Ruddock, Eoin Reddan, Ian Madigan, Luke Fitzgerald.
