Joe Schmidt has named the Ireland squad for this summer's tour of Australia.

The headline inclusions are Leinster's Ross Byrne and Munster-bound Tadhg Beirne.

It's a full strength squad, with Robbie Henshaw included in spite of concerns over a knee injury sustained against Racing.

Ireland are scheduled to play three tests against Michael Cheika's side.
