Ireland have announced a 32-man squad that will face South Africa in a three-Test series in June.
Ulster flanker Sean Reidy and Connacht lock Quinn Roux are the only uncapped players in the squad which has 22 players overall from Leinster and Ulster.
The squad will leave to South Africa on 5th June with the first Test scheduled to be played at the DHL Newlands Stadium on 11th June while the second and third games will be played at Emirates Airline Park and Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on 18th and 25th June respectively.
The last time Ireland toured South Africa they lost both the games in the two-match series and Ireland Head Coach Joe Schmidt is wary of the challenges ahead especially with the fitness of the players.
