CJ Stander returns to Ireland's starting lineup for final test against South Africa

Jos Schmidt has named his team to face South Africa in the deciding test of the series at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

After missing the last game through suspension, CJ Stander returns to the backrow along with Jordi Murphy and Jamie Heaslip. 

Luke Marshall also returns to the team, while Tiernan O'Halloran starts at fullback, having come off the bench in the previous game.

That sees Matt Healy named among the replacements, and if he does make an appearance, every member of the touring squad will have gotten game time on the pitch.

14. Andrew Trimble (Ballymena/Ulster)
13. Luke Marshall (Ballymena/Ulster)
12. Stuart Olding (Belfast Harlequins/Ulster)
11. Keith Earls (Young Munster/Munster)
10. Paddy Jackson (Dungannon/Ulster)
9. Conor Murray (Garryowen/Munster)
1. Jack McGrath (St. Mary's College/Leinster)
2. Rory Best (Banbridge/Ulster) (capt)

4. Iain Henderson (Ballynahinch/Ulster)
5. Devin Toner (Lansdowne/Leinster)
6. CJ Stander (Munster)
7. Jordi Murphy (Lansdowne/Leinster)
8. Jamie Heaslip (Dublin University/Leinster)
 
Replacements:

16. Sean Cronin (St. Mary's College/Leinster)
