Johnny Sexton is poised to win his 100th cap for Ireland this weekend.
The out-half has been named to captain Andy Farrell's side for the clash with Japan on Saturday.
He'll play alongside Jamison Gibson Park, who's preferred to Conor Murray at scrum half.
𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧. 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫. 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐝. 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐧.

Congratulations, @JohnnySexton! 🙌#TeamOfUs | #IrishRugby | #ShoulderToShoulder | #IREvJPN
Tadhg Furlong will win his 50th cap, while Andrew Porter starts a first international at loosehead.
Robbie Henshaw is still rehabbing a foot injury so Garry Ringrose and Bundee Aki start at centre for the first time since lining out against Italy in the Six Nations last year.
