The latest sports news from The42.ie in 60 seconds

IRELAND HEAD COACH Andy Farrell has named Finlay Bealham to start at tighthead prop in his team to face New Zealand in Friday night’s autumn Test in Dublin , with Tadhg Furlong ruled out through injury.

Farrell has welcomed scrum-half Jamison Gibson-Park, fullback Hugo Keenan, and right wing Mack Hansen back into his starting XV after all three missed the tour of South Africa in July. Advertisement Bundee Aki is another player who returns to Ireland’s starting side, having been dropped for the second Test in South Africa, with Robbie Henshaw missing out on the matchday 23 altogether as versatile 22-year-old Jamie Osborne covers the outside backs from the bench.

Joe McCarthy and James Ryan continue in the second row, while the back row of Tadhg Beirne, Josh van der Flier, and captain Caelan Doris is also unchanged from that second Test against the Springboks nearly four months ago.
