The squad that will travel to Chicago for Ireland's Autumn International against New Zealad has just been named.
Sean O'Brien, Iain Henderson and Peter O'Mahony will not make the trip as they return to full fitness, while Paddy Jackson is unavailable due to personal reasons.
Head Coach Joe Schmidt has named five uncapped players in his 27 man squad with Leinsters Joey Carberry, Luke McGrath and Gary Ringrose all making the cut. Billy Holland and John Ryan of Munster will also travel to Chicago this evening.
