Iain Henderson, Rob Herring, Tom O'Toole and Nick Timoney have all been called up as part of Farrell's forward options, with uncapped Cormac Izuchukwu receiving his second international call up, thanks to his impressive form for his Province and Emerging Ireland.
Stuart McCloskey and Jacob Stockdale are also included amongst the backs in the squad.
The Ireland squad will assemble at the IRFU High Performance Centre on Monday, before departing for a warm-weather training camp in Portugal in preparation for the opening game of the Autumn Nations Series against New Zealand on Friday, 8 November (Kick-off 8.10pm).
Farrell’s side will then host Argentina at Aviva Stadium on Friday, 15 November (Kick-off 8.10pm) and go head-to-head with Fiji on Saturday, 23 November (Kick-off 3.10pm), before concluding the campaign against Australia for Irish Rugby’s 150th Anniversary Test on Saturday, 30 November (Kick-off 3.10pm).
Looking ahead to the start of the Autumn Nations Series, Andy Farrell said: “The challenge that awaits us this November is one of the toughest we could face and I would like to congratulate each of the players on their selection. There is a blend of youth and experience, but all of the players are selected on merit carried from their form in recent months from the summer tour, the early rounds of the URC and at the Emerging Ireland Tour.
“While some of the players have been sidelined of late, collectively they are making positive strides on the injury front and we are hopeful that they will come into the selection frame over the course of the coming weeks as they ramp up their respective rehab programmes.
“The Autumn Nations Series gives us the chance to play at home over four consecutive weekends, and with two Friday night games first up against New Zealand and Argentina, followed by Fiji and the IRFU’s 150th anniversary Test against Australia, it promises to be a cracking atmosphere next month at a packed Aviva Stadium.”
All matches will be live on Virgin Media in Republic of Ireland and TNT Sports in the United Kingdom.
