Humphreys has a point to prove

Ireland’s record-points scorer David Humphreys – set for his first international start in 13 months – is treating his 65th cap against the United States on Saturday as if it were his last.

All seven replacements in last weekend’s historic 17-12 defeat of South Africa at Lansdowne Road have earned a recall to coach Eddie O’Sullivan’s starting line-up and Humphreys, 33, is one of many with a point to prove.
