Wednesday, 23 October 2024 15:43

Cormac Izuchuckwu will be hoping to pick up a first senior cap in one of three November Internationals.

Offaly's Cormac Izuchuckwu has been called up the Ireland senior squad for this year's forthcoming Autumn International series.

The Ulster forward will be hoping to win a first cap in one of Ireland's three tests against New Zealand, Fiji, and Australia.

Izuchuckwu, and Leinster's Sam Prendergast have seemingly been rewarded for their fine form when touring with the Emerging Ireland squad in South Africa last month.

Caelan Doris has been named captain ahead of Peter O'Mahony, who has made the squad, but may not be available for the opening game against New Zealand due to a hamstring injury

Rob Herring, Ronán Kelleher and Ciaran Frawley are also in, despite carrying respective knocks.

Gus McCarthy and Alex Kendellen are among the five training panellists included for this window. 

The Men in Green kick off the Series with the All Blacks coming to the Aviva Stadium on November 8th.
