Farrell has Exciting Selection Options for Ireland's Opener Against All Blacks

Ireland head coach Andy Farrell has a number of exciting selection options ahead of his side's opening game of the Autumn Nations Series against New Zealand.

Farrell is set to name his team on Thursday for the clash with the All Blacks in Dublin on November 13.

The Ireland boss has a number of in-form players to choose from, including the likes of James Ryan, Tadhg Furlong, and Johnny Sexton.

Ryan has been in excellent form for Leinster this season, while Furlong has also impressed for the province and for Ireland in the Six Nations.

Sexton has been in fine fettle for Leinster and Ireland, and will be looking to lead his side to a famous victory over the All Blacks.

Farrell also has a number of other options to consider, including the likes of Iain Henderson, Peter O'Mahony, and Conor Murray.

Henderson and O'Mahony have been in good form for Ulster and Munster respectively, while Murray has been in impressive form for Munster and Ireland.

Farrell is likely to make a number of changes to the side that beat Japan in their last outing, with the likes of Ryan, Furlong, and Sexton all expected to come into the starting XV.

The Ireland head coach will be hoping that his side can start the Autumn Nations Series with a victory over the All Blacks.
