Ireland will take on Japan and the USA next month.

Ireland head coach Andy Farrell has included 11 uncapped players in his squad for the July Tests against Japan and the USA at the Aviva Stadium.

There's no place for Johnny Sexton, Cian Healy or Keith Earls in the 37-man squad, while James Ryan has been named captain.

Munster pair Gavin Coombes and Fineen Wycherley are among the 11 new faces along with Leinster trio Harry Byrne, Peter Dooley and Ross Molony.

Connacht's Caolin Blade, Tom Daly and Paul Boyle have also been called up with UIster's Robert Baloucoune, Tom O’Toole and Nick Timoney.

Ireland play Japan on the 3rd of July and the USA the following week with both games set to have supporters present as part of the government’s outdoor pilot events.
