Kidney names 39-strong squad for November Test series

Ireland coach Declan Kidney has included nine uncapped players in his 39 strong squad for the upcoming Guinness Series of internationals in November against Australia, Fiji and South Africa.

Kidney said: "We had an opportunity to work with most of the players selected in this squad over our three camps during the summer. Those sessions were about giving chances to as many players as possible following last year.
