Ireland and Lions take to the field today

Joey Carbery makes his return to international rugby after two years away today.

He starts at out-half for the test with Japan at the Aviva, which gets underway at 1.

And the Lions continue preparations for their test series with the Springboks.

Warren Gatland’s side face the Sigma Lions in Johannesburg from 5.

Last night saw the Springboks warm-up with a 40-points to 9 win over Georgia.
