Newly qualified James Lowe has been included in Ireland’s squad ahead of the first ever Autumn Nations Cup which gets under way this month.
The New Zealand-born winger is available for Ireland selection after completing his three-year residency period with Leinster.
Uncapped pair Billy Burns and Shane Daly are also included, while Keith Earls returns from injury, but there is no room in the group for John Cooney despite being drafted in as cover for last weekend’s Six Nations loss in France.
British and Irish Lions prop Tadhg Furlong remains sidelined through injury ahead of a campaign which starts on November 13, when Ireland welcome Wales to the Aviva Stadium.
Ireland have further games against England and Georgia.
