The Irish rugby squad has been named for the game against New Zealand in Soldier Field, Chicago next week. Joe Schmidt had originally selected a squad of 40 for the November tour. This has been whittled down to a 27 man squad for the New Zealand game.

Of the six uncapped players who made the 40 man team, Joey Carbery, Garry Ringrose, Billy Holland, John Ryan and Luke McGrath have made the cut. Only James Tracy misses out.
