🔗 Share this article Doris Makes Ireland Selection But Joe McCarthy Omitted Newly reappointed manager the Ireland coach has selected captain Doris in his Irish team for the autumn internationals, however Joe McCarthy is absent. Doris, who has not played since having a shoulder operation in the start of May, recently returned to Leinster training, though his fitness is uncertain whether he will be ready to play against the All Blacks in the US on 1 November. Second row McCarthy, however, was not considered after not recovering from the foot injury he sustained during the opening British and Irish Lions match against the Wallabies in July. Ulster forward Izuchukwu and Munster winger Nash are not included due to injury, and full-back Keenan had already been ruled out after undergoing a hip operation following the summer tour. Leinster prop McCarthy - the brother of Joe - is the sole new member in the 34-player group, but Irish rugby authorities says uncapped Munster pair Edogbo and Gleeson and previously capped western province winger Shayne Bolton will head to Chicago as "backup". Following facing the All Blacks at Soldier Field in a rematch of their 2016 meeting, the team host Japan, the Wallabies and world title holders South Africa in the Irish capital. "It's an exciting group to the squad and there's an opportunity for the veteran members and for the newcomers on the summer tour to the Lelos and Portugal," said Farrell, who returns to national team duties after a break to coach the Lions tour to Australia. Leinster forward McCarthy is the only uncapped player in the squad In a mostly familiar-looking selection, Leinster's Sam Prendergast and Munster's Crowley will once again vie for the first-choice number 10 spot. The number 10 jersey is still up for grabs, with the two players set to face off for the first occasion in the upcoming United Rugby Championship match at the Dublin venue. Ciaran Frawley is the third fly-half chosen as the coach deciding not to selecting the province's Byrne. At number 9, Farrell has picked Lions tourist Gibson-Park and Casey, who led the national side to the summer Test wins over the Lelos and the Lobos. Additionally, there is a recall for Connacht's Caolin Blade, who is preferred to teammate Ben Murphy. Henshaw, Bundee Aki, Garry Ringrose and McCloskey form an veteran cohort of midfield choices. Osborne is a further choice in the midfield, though the youngster is also a frontrunner to deputise for Keenan at full-back. Outside backs James Lowe, Mack Hansen, O'Brien and Jacob Stockdale are included. The winger shone on his national team debut during the summer with two tries apiece in the victories over Georgia and Portugal. McCarthy is the sole new addition in the Irish forwards. The front rower has started two of his province's three league matches so far and played in the second string's loss by the English in the English city previously. McCarthy was included in caretaker coach O'Connell's summer squad, yet did not receive a international appearance. Southern province lock Ahern, who received his debut appearances in those Tests, is kept in the squad, while experienced Ulster second row Henderson returns after missing the summer tour. Conan, who started all three Lions Tests during the tour, is set to deputise for the captain if the captain fails to recover full fitness soon enough to face New Zealand. The Ireland squad will assemble in Dublin on Monday before traveling to the US on Tuesday.
