Ireland name squad for 2014 Series
Ireland coach Joe Schmidt has named a 37-man squad for the forthcoming Guinness Series against South Africa, Georgia and Australia.
The squad, captained by Paul O'Connell, features five uncapped players including Connacht's Darragh Leader and Nathan White, Ulster's Jared Payne, Munster's Dave Foley and Leinster's Dominic Ryan.
Ireland take on Heyneke Meyer's South Africa at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday, November 8.
The Springboks ended the All Blacks' unbeaten run of 22 games with their victory at Ellis Park in the final game of the Rugby Championship in early October.
On Sunday, November 16, Ireland play host to Georgia, who have a plethora of players plying their trade at leading French Top 14 clubs.
The final game of the Guinness Series will take place on Saturday, November 22, with the return of the Wallabies who recorded a victory in Dublin last November.
The games against South Africa and Australia are sell-outs while there remain opportunities to secure tickets for the game against Georgia.
Players unavailable for selection due to injury include Keith Earls, Luke Fitzgerald (returning from long-term injury), Cian Healy, Iain Henderson, Dave Kearney, Luke Marshall, Fergus McFadden, Martin Moore, Jordi Murphy, Sean O'Brien, Donnacha Ryan, Mike Sherry, Dan Touhy, Andrew Trimble and Damien Varley.
