Northern province forward Izuchukwu and Munster winger Nash are not included due to fitness concerns, and full-back Hugo Keenan had already been ruled out after undergoing hip surgery following the summer tour.

After facing the New Zealand at the Chicago stadium in a rematch of their 2016 encounter, Ireland will play Japan, the Wallabies and world champions South Africa in Dublin. "There's an exciting look to the panel and there's an opportunity for the veteran members and for those who made their debuts on the summer tour to the Lelos and the Lobos," said Farrell, back to national team duties after taking a sabbatical to lead the Lions tour to Australia. Provincial prop McCarthy is the only uncapped member in the squad In a largely familiar-looking selection, Leinster's Prendergast and the southern club's Crowley will again compete for the first-choice number 10 spot.

Additionally, there is a recall for the western province's Caolin Blade, chosen to club-mate Murphy. Robbie Henshaw, Bundee Aki, Garry Ringrose and Stuart McCloskey form an veteran cohort of centre choices. Osborne is a further choice in the centres, though the youngster is additionally a frontrunner to cover for Keenan at number 15. Outside backs Lowe, Hansen, Tommy O'Brien and Stockdale are included. The winger impressed on his national team debut during the summer with two tries apiece in the wins over Georgia and Portugal. Paddy McCarthy is the only new addition in the Ireland pack.
