Ireland's O'Driscoll, Sexton fit for All Blacks

DUBLIN (AP) Brian O'Driscoll will equal Ronan O'Gara's Ireland record of 128 international caps after being passed fit for Sunday's autumn test against New Zealand at Lansdowne Road.

O'Driscoll has managed a two-month-old calf problem and will take his place at center for his 14th and final appearance against the All Blacks before retiring at the end of the season.

Flyhalf Jonathan Sexton and fullback Rob Kearney have recovered from injuries sustained in Saturday's 32-15 loss to Australia to also make the team along with inside center Gordon D'Arcy, who was recalled in favour of Luke Marshall.

If the All Blacks win in Dublin, they will become the first team in the professional era to go through a calendar year with a 100 percent winning record.
