The Quilter Nations Series matches against Australia and South Africa are now sold out, with limited General Sale tickets remaining for the opener against Japan on Saturday, 8 November (Kick-off 12.40pm) here<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Ireland\u00a0Men\u2019s Head Coach Andy Farrell said:\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m delighted to announce the squad for the four upcoming matches this November. There\u2019s an exciting look to the panel and there\u2019s an opportunity for the more experienced players and for those who made their debuts on the Summer Tour to Georgia and Portugal. The Coaching Team are looking forward to seeing all of the players take their\u00a0opportunity\u00a0over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n \u201cThis November\u2019s Quilter Nations Series promises to be a\u00a0great\u00a0challenge. We\u2019re playing four top quality southern hemisphere teams who are all coming off the back of a busy block of matches of late and they\u2019ll be keen to finish their year strongly. First up is New Zealand and we\u2019re really excited to get back to Chicago for the Gallagher Cup match. I\u2019ve no doubt the Irish global supporter base will be out once again in force to cheer on the team in a brilliant city at a world-class arena.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve seen the strides\u00a0Japan\u00a0have made from their ever-improving domestic competition and how that has led to success on the field for the national team\u00a0over the last number of years.<\/p>\n \u201cThe following weekend we welcome Australia, a side who we faced in a\u00a0competitive\u00a0150th Anniversary match last November and who have made confident progressions since then through The British and Irish Lions Tour and into the Rugby Championship.\u00a0We have great respect for them and the Springboks, who we face in the final Test match of the calendar year the following week.<\/p>\n \u201cWe talk about it a lot but having a loud and vocal support at home in Aviva Stadium means everything to us. A strong Irish following can be such a positive point of difference and I know how excited each of the players are to represent their country. It promises to be a cracking few weeks of international rugby.\u201d<\/p>\n The Gallagher Cup clash against New Zealand will be broadcast live on Virgin Media One in Republic of Ireland and TNT Sports in the United Kingdom, while supporters around the world can stream the match on IrishRugby+ in countries where there is no broadcaster.
