Kilcoyne keen to stay and play as starting prop

Munster Prop Dave Kilcoyne admits the November series could give him a chance to stake a claim to hold onto the starting position.

Cian Healy and Nathan White are unavailable, while Mike Ross is an injury worry for this Saturday's test against South Africa at the Aviva. The 25-year-old, who won the last of his 10 caps in Argentina last summer, has been speaking to Newstalk's Dave McIntyre.

South Africa have called up one of Johnny Sexton's Racing Metro teammates for the November series, starting with their clash against Ireland on Saturday.

22-year-old Johan Goosen has been drafted in to cover the full-back position. Goosen's club teammate Sexton remains a doubt for Ireland, but is likely to start against the Springboks on Saturday.

George North will start at centre in Wales' tests against Australia on Saturday. The Northampton wing will be partnered by Jamie Roberts in midfield. 

Rhys Webb has edged Mike Phillips for the scrum-half role. Wales face Australia before matches against Fiji, New Zealand and South Africa.
