Autumn internationals.
Joe Schmidt has named an extended 42-man Ireland squad for their upcoming November Internationals against Italy, Argentina, New Zealand and USA.
Uncapped trio Sam Arnold, Ross Byrne and Will Addison have all made the squad, while there is no place, as expected, for Conor Murray who continues to recover from injury.
Other players who make the squad include Munster winger Darren Sweetnam, and in-form Connacht prop Finlay Bealham. Sean O’Brien is also included after successfully returning to action with Leinster in recent weeks.
There’s also room for Ulster duo Jordi Murphy and Stuart McCloskey, as well as Munster loosehead Dave Kilcoyne.
