Johnny Sexton will captain Ireland against Australia this Saturday as long as he can recover fully from the dead leg suffered in the win over South Africa in Dublin earlier this month.

The Leinster veteran is part of a 36-man squad currently in camp ahead of the last of the November internationals, against the Wallabies, and every player took at least some part in training at the IRFU’s high-performance base in Abbotstown on Tuesday.
