An additional panel of players, with a further two Ulster men receiving the call-up, has been named for the Ireland 'A' fixture against the All Blacks XV, which takes place in the RDS on Friday 4 November.

Ireland will play the Springboks for the first time in six years when Jacques Nienaber's World Cup-winning side return to Aviva Stadium on Saturday 5 November (KO 5 30pm).

Fiji also return to Dublin for the first time since 2017 on Saturday 12 November (KO 1pm), while Ireland's final game of the Series is against Australia on Saturday 19 November (KO 8pm). Ireland last faced the Wallabies in the summer of 2018 where they secured a famous series victory.

The Ireland squad will be captained by Johnny Sexton and there are six uncapped players in the squad: Ciaran Frawley, Jeremy Loughman, Joe McCarthy, Calvin Nash, Jimmy O’Brien and Cian Prendergast.

Frawley, Loughman, McCarthy, O’Brien and Prendergast featured for the Ireland XV that played against the Maori All Blacks during the Summer Tour of New Zealand.

Prendergast, McCarthy, Robert Baloucoune and Calvin Nash were also part of the Emerging Ireland squad that played against the Griquas, Pumas and Cheetahs in Bloemfontein earlier this month.

The Ireland 'A' panel includes Tom Ahern, Diarmuid Barron, Jack Crowley, Shane Daly, Max Deegan, Jamie Osborne, Scott Penny and Roman Salanoa from the Emerging Ireland squad as well as experienced front-row forwards Dave Kilcoyne and Marty Moore. Players in the A Panel will join the squad following Round 7 of the URC.

Ireland 'A' take on a strong All Black XV squad on the 4 November in the RDS (KO 7 45pm - tickets on General Sale via [**Ticketmaster.ie**](http://Ticketmaster.ie) from Saturday 22 October at 10am).
