Murray, Kilcoyne & Ryan Included For Second Test

Head Coach Joe Schmidt makes five changes for Ireland’s second Test against the Springboks in Johannesburg on Saturday, kick-off 4pm (Irish).

Munster’s Conor Murray makes his second consecutive start while Dave Kilcoyne and Donnacha Ryan are in line to make their first appearances of the Summer Series after being named among the replacements. 
 
Rory Best captains the side and is joined in the front row by Jack McGrath and Tadhg Furlong.  Devin Toner and debutant Quinn Roux combine in the second row with Iain Henderson switching to the blindside flank to join Rhys Ruddock at openside and Jamie Heaslip at No.8 in the backrow.
 
Murray and Paddy Jackson are retained at half-back while Stuart Olding joins Robbie Henshaw in midfield.  Craig Gilroy is introduced to the back three alongside Andrew Trimble and Jared Payne at fullback.
