Humphreys set to break Kyle's record against Fiji

DAVID HUMPHREYS is poised to captain Ireland on his record breaking appearance for Ireland at Lansdowne Road on Sunday.

Humphreys will win his 47th cap for Ireland against Fiji and one way or the other will lead the side onto the pitch as he exceeds Jack Kyle's record number of appearances in the green jersey.

The Irish management were tight-lipped about the prospects of Humphreys captaining the side but with Keith Wood and Brian O'Driscoll out of the squad, it appears to be a certain development.
