Ireland head coach Andy Farrell aims to give youth a chance by resting senior players Johnny Sexton, Cian Healy and Keith Earls for the summer Tests against Japan and the USA.
Farrell this morning named a 37-man squad, captained by Leinster lock James Ryan, which includes 11 uncapped players.
Robert Baloucoune, Tom O'Toole, Nick Timoney (Ulster), Caolin Blade, Tom Daly, Paul Boyle (Connacht), Harry Byrne, Peter Dooley, Ross Molony (Leinster), Gavin Coombes, Fineen Wycherley (Munster) have all earned call-ups for the Aviva Stadium games on 3 and 10 July.
"I know the players will come in eager to make the most of this opportunity to pull on the green jersey and play in front of supporters for at the Aviva Stadium for the first time in 18 months," said Farrell about his squad for the Vodafone Summer Series.
"Johnny, Cian and Keith will not be involved in this window as we grow the experience of other players. It will be a great opportunity to see can this group perform at this level."
Captain Sexton was top scorer in the Six Nations but has been out of action with Leinster since April.
Ireland were originally due to travel to Fiji but that tour was cancelled amid continuing Covid-19 concerns.
"We now have two games at home to focus on which will be a good challenge for the group," added Farrell, who will join up with the Lions tour to South Africa following the USA game.
"Japan played the Sunwolves at the weekend and will play the Lions the week before we play at the Aviva Stadium and we know the quality of their squad from the World Cup.
The games will be broadcast on RTÉ and a limited number of spectators will be allowed into the venue as part of a pilot event.
