Mick McCarthy names Ireland team to face New Zealand

Mick McCarthy's Republic of Ireland team to face New Zealand at the Aviva Stadium on Thursday night has been released.

The team, which has been released considerably earlier than usual, will include two international debuts and two first-time starters.

19-year-old Tottenham forward Troy Parrot and Celtic's Lee O'Connor are set to make their senior international debuts.

Shamrock Rovers midfielder Jack Byrne and goalkeeper Kieran O'Hara meanwhile will make their first starts.

The game will mark Robbie Brady's first international involvement since June when he scored in stoppage time at the Aviva Stadium against Gibraltar.
