Ireland Summer Tour Squad 2022

Andy Farrell has selected a 40-player squad for Ireland’s summer tour to New Zealand, with Johnny Sexton named as captain.

There is a real mix of experience and youth in the squad. Five players were involved in Ireland’s last tour to New Zealand in 2012 – Keith Earls, Cian Healy, Conor Murray, Peter O’Mahony and Sexton.

There are also a handful of uncapped players – Ciaran Frawley, Jeremy Loughman, Joe McCarthy, Jimmy O’Brien and Cian Prendergast – as well as a dozen players who have won less than ten caps for Ireland. There are six uncapped players in the New Zealand squad for the Ireland series.

Ireland have a busy tour schedule, with three Tests against the All Blacks – in Auckland, Dunedin and Wellington – as well as two midweek fixtures against the Maori. Hence the larger squad Farrell has selected.

Ireland beat New Zealand 29-20 in Dublin in November but have never triumphed against the All Blacks on NZ soil.

Aidan Ross has been selected for the upcoming 2022 Steinlager Series

Ross has been selected for the upcoming 2022 Steinlager Series at the All Black’s recent squad naming on Monday, June 13.

The three match 2022 Steinlager Series kicks off on Saturday, July 2, where the team will play against Ireland at Eden Park in Auckland.

Following matches will be played on Saturday, July 9, at Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin, and Saturday July 16 at Sky Stadium in Wellington.

Aidan Ross

AB v Irish Rugby tour will begin at Eden Park in Auckland on July 2.

“It was pretty amazing to be selected. You write goals down at the start of each year and to be able to tick them off is real pleasing, and a proud moment for me and my family,” says Ross.

“My family was very stoked. They were all parked up in Tauranga watching the livestream, I wasn’t able to be with them but they were very happy.

The 26-year-old prop says it has been a goal to make the All Blacks team for a long time.

“I think it’s the goal of every young rugby player to be an All Black one day. It’s great to be able to make the squad.

“The next thing now is to try and strive for a test jersey.”

Aidan says him and the newly announced All Blacks squad is “pumped as” about gearing up to ‘test the luck of the Irish’ in the three test Steinlager Series against Ireland, a team that has became an increasing threat since the All Blacks had their first defeat against them in the 2016 Autumn International in Soldier Field, Chicago.

Since then, Ireland has been alternating wins and losses against New Zealand, so the upcoming three test matches will feature some very competitive games.

Ross says the All Black preparation for the series involves a gym and field session each day, as current Blues and Crusaders squads are preparing for their upcoming Super Rugby Pacific final this weekend.

“We come in during the morning and hit the gym and have a field session each day, and once next week hits all the other players will be joining.

“It’s only day one so far, so I’m sure there’s a bit more training to do in the coming weeks.

“We’re real excited. It’s going to be a huge series, we’ve got three games against Ireland in our home country. We get to all play in front of our family and friends. It’s going to be wicked.

“I’m sure the Irish players are pretty keen to get over here as well, so it’s going to be some real quality games.”

All Blacks 2022 Steinlager Series begins on Saturday 2 July against Ireland at Auckland’s Eden Park

The All Blacks 2022 Steinlager Series begins on Saturday 2 July against Ireland at Auckland’s Eden Park, with the second stop of the series in Dunedin on Saturday 9 July.

You can see the action up close and personal right here in Wellington with the All Blacks vs Ireland playing at Sky Stadium on Saturday 16 July, 7:05pm.

It has been 10 years since New Zealand has hosted the Ireland rugby team, so this will be an unmissable match for all rugby fans.

New Zealand’s national rugby team, the All Blacks have announced they are playing three Steinlager Series Tests against Ireland across the country this July, with both teams settling in and kicking off for crowds in Auckland, Dunedin and Wellington.

The All Blacks name their first squad of the year next Monday, when it is expected that some will be named in the squad for the first time.

All Blacks 2022 Steinlager Series

36 players are expected to be named next Monday ahead of the upcoming three-test series between the All Blacks and Ireland, but few have their places in on the squad list cemented.

That much is particularly true at halfback, where there are five genuine contenders for All Blacks selection vying for just three spots in the New Zealand national squad.

Instead, Parsons suggested that the All Blacks may opt to exclude Perenara and Weber in a bid to make them available for the Maori All Blacks, who will host Ireland in two mid-week matches during their tour of New Zealand.

Ireland will tour New Zealand in July of 2022 and the three test matches against the All Blacks is ideal preparation for the Rugby World Cup in 2023.
