Joe Schmidt names Garry Ringrose and Joey Carbery in Ireland squad to take on All Blacks

Joe Schmidt has named the 27-man squad that will travel to Chicago to take on the All Blacks at Solider Field, including five uncapped players

After a brilliant start to the season, Joey Carbery will be making the trip alongside fellow Leinster youngster Garry Ringrose, while Luke McGrath will also be joining as part of the Leinster contingent. 

For Munster, Billy Holland and John Ryan will also be in line to win their first cap in green against an all-conquering All Blacks side, who come into the game off the back of 18 wins in a row. Kieran Marmion, Finlay Bealham and Ultan Dillane all make the cut from Connacht.  

With a number of injuries to contend with, Schmidt has had to go without Sean O'Brien, Iain Henderson and Peter O'Mahony, while Paddy Jackson is also unavailable for selection for personal reasons.
