Caelan Doris to Lead Ireland in November Internationals

Caelan Doris has been named captain of the Ireland rugby team for their November internationals, succeeding Peter O'Mahony who is recovering from a hamstring injury. Doris, a 26-year-old back row from Leinster, has previously captained Ireland to victories against Italy and South Africa, and is seen as a future candidate to lead the British & Irish Lions. The team will face New Zealand, Argentina, Fiji, and Australia, with head coach Andy Farrell managing his last selection before focusing on coaching the Lions. The squad faces challenges with injuries, particularly at the hooker position, where Dan Sheehan is out until next year and Ronan Kelleher is racing to be fit. Uncapped players Cormac Izuchukwu and Sam Prendergast have been included, with Prendergast seen as a potential long-term replacement for Johnny Sexton.
