Ireland head coach Andy Farrell has named a 35-player squad for the Autumn Nations Series with the announcement of a new captain.

Caelan Doris will lead the team over the four matches with regular skipper Peter O’Mahony still injured.

Doris said: “It is an enormous honour to be named Ireland captain and I am excited about leading the squad into battle over the coming weeks. I am very fortunate to have had so much support from my family and friends and many others along the way from Mayo to Blackrock and on to Leinster and Ireland.

“I am extremely proud to lead this squad and I know that there’s an experienced group of leaders who will work hard to achieve success in the weeks ahead. We have a special group of players and I am confident that there are bright days to come as we build up for four huge Tests at Aviva Stadium.”
