Zebo back in Ireland squad as uncapped Frawley and Sheehan called up

Andy Farrell has named his 38-man squad for the November Tests.

IRELAND HEAD COACH Andy Farrell has recalled Simon Zebo to his squad for the upcoming autumn Tests.

The Munster wing is named in an Ireland squad for the first time since June 2017 having returned to his native province last summer after three seasons in France with Racing 92.

Farrell has also included uncapped Leinster hooker Dan Sheehan and centre Ciarán Frawley in his 38-man squad for the autumn window.

Munster lock Thomas Ahern and Leinster back Jamie Osborne will train with Ireland as development players over the coming weeks.

36-year-old Johnny Sexton continues as Ireland captain.

Robert Baloucoune, Harry Byrne, Gavin Coombes, James Hume, Tom O’Toole, and Nick Timoney – all of whom won their first Ireland caps back in July – have been named in Farrell’s squad.

Robbie Henshaw hasn’t been formally included in the squad but the IRFU confirmed that the Leinster centre will continue to rehab a foot injury “under the supervision of the Ireland medical team.”

Ireland face Japan on 6 November, New Zealand on 13 November, and Argentina on 21 November, with all three games taking place at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.
