Roscommon’s Darragh Murray has been named in the Ireland XV squad that will play Spain next month.
The Brideswell man has been selected in the 28 man squad for the upcoming clash against Spain in Leganés on Saturday, 8 November (Kick-off 5pm local time/4pm Irish time).
The Ireland XV squad is comprised of Test-capped international players, those on the fringes of National Team selection, as well as young emerging players for the future, and next month’s match in Madrid offers another chance to impress the National Coaching Team.
Murray is one of nine players who have won Test caps for Ireland with the squad captained by Ulster’s Tom Stewart.
Overall, six Connacht players have been included.
Collie Tucker will lead the squad as Head Coach and will be assisted by Mossy Lawler (Backs/Attack Coach), Jimmy Duffy (Forwards Coach) and Sean O’Brien (Defence Coach).
The match will be played at Estadio Municipal de Butarque and streaming details will be confirmed in due course.
