The Ireland squad reassembled in Carton House on Sunday afternoon and begin preparation for Gary Gold’s USA side which put in an impressive display against England at Twickenham yesterday.

Three players have been released from Ireland camp. Chris Farrell (HIA) and Jordan Larmour (groin) will be managed by the medical teams at their respective provinces while Peter O’Mahony will commence his off-season.

Ireland play the USA this coming Saturday in the final fixture of the Vodafone Summer Series. The game which kicks off at 7.15pm and will be televised by RTE and Channel 4 is the third fixture between the two sides in the past four years.

Ireland have won the last two games between the sides 55-19 in New Jersey in 2017 and 57-14 in the Aviva Stadium in 2018. There is also the added spice of the return fixture between the two teams in Las Vegas in the autumn.
