Hello and welcome to live coverage of Ireland’s squad announcement for the Autumn Internationals, which will be announced at about 4pm. Gerry Thornley’s predicts it will have a familiar look, but could be some newcomers that impressed in the summer tour. It will be the first time in over a decade there will be no Cian Healy, Peter O’Mahony and Conor Murray though. Hugo Keenan will also be missing, Caelan Doris is a doubt, but may return.
Ireland will play New Zealand, Japan, Australia and South Africa.
