'Testing yourself against the best': Foley excited about showdown with Sexton
By AAP
Neither age nor injury are slowing down Johnny Sexton, with the talismanic playmaker set to return to lead top-ranked Ireland against the bruised Wallabies.
Sexton is poised to win his 110th Test cap after recovering from a leg knock to rejoin training ahead of the clash at Dublin's Aviva Stadium on Sunday (AEDT).
The Wallabies need a victory - or at least a strong showing - against the world No.1 team to restore pride following last week's historic loss to Italy.
Sexton, 37, continues to set the benchmark for five-eighths, and was this week nominated in the elite four-man field for World Rugby's men's player of the year.
Wallabies five-eighth Bernard Foley said facing the Irish captain would be "special".
"It just shows that age is just a number, doesn't it?," Foley said.
"The thing about Johnny, he's ultra-competitive and he must be doing everything right to keep himself at the top of his game.
"He's looking after his body, he's still got world-class game management and skills so to see him doing it is great and I'm looking forward to the challenge.
"I've got to try and make the most of every game and this one is a special one, testing yourself against the best in the world."
The Test will be Foley's last of the year, with the 33-year-old rejoining his Japanese side with the tour-ending Wales match falling outside of the international window.
After being rested from the shock Italy loss last weekend, Foley said he would be out to again push his case for selection for next year's Rugby World Cup.
"We don't know what players are going to be in the mix (for the World Cup) so I've got to try and make the most of every game," he said.
"It's really trying to make the most of it because you don't know what's going to happen next."
Foley said the consistency of Ireland, who are gunning for a 12th straight home win, was something the Wallabies were striving for.
"Ireland have been the benchmark of consistency for a number of years and that's probably why they're No.1," he said.
"That's a great challenge for us, as a team we're searching for that consistency.
"They're going to be an incredibly difficult challenge but we're embracing the opportunity to test ourselves against the best."

I saw an opportunity to invest in cryptocurrency about two months ago and I took my chance. I contacted a broker who I saw videos on youtube and I invested a huge sum of money around £665,211 which was deposited using Bitcoin with hopes to gain massive returns on my investment. I kept tracking my portfolio and it was increasing daily on the website. It made me excited and confident. Fast forward to 30 Days after, which was supposed to be my payout date, I tried to make a withdrawal as I needed money to foot my bills and buy my new house, but the broker insisted that I continue to invest or will have to pay some fees to withdraw my funds. That was very disappointing to hear, Contact ghostchampionwizard[at]gmail,com because it was all going smoothly when I deposited the funds. Eventually, I paid the fees which was about £45,800. I was desperate now because according to my portfolio, I had made about £1,512,400. Now you see why I was willing to pay the fees. It turned out it was a scheme to keep asking me for more money for one thing or the other, like Taxes, miner fees and so many others. I declined, and instead I won’t pay more. They locked my account for several weeks. A month after, I saw a post on Quora about GHOST CHAMPION RECOVERY HACKERS which stated they were capable of getting my money recovered. With a little faith in me, I contacted them immediately, and discussed my situation, and sent all the information I had.
In less than a week, I was able to recoup my BTC. I praise the universe for sending them my way. I wish to recommend them to everyone out there. they are capable of recover any crypto coins Bitcoin, Usdt ,Eth, Dogecoin, now i have my funds back with there guidelines and skills you can always contact them via WhatsApp : +44 7383450230 for inquiries.
