Doris, who took over as Leinster captain this season and is among the names tipped to lead the British & Irish Lions next year, led Ireland twice in O'Mahony's absence, including a 25-24 victory in South Africa last time out. Ireland's main concern is at hooker where first choice Dan Sheehan is ruled out until next year and Ronan Kelleher, while named in the squad, is in a race against time to be fit for the opening Nov. 8 match against the All Blacks with an ankle injury.
The only uncapped players are Ulster lock Cormac Izuchukwu and 21-year-old Leinster flyhalf Sam Prendergast, who impressed in a recent Emerging Ireland tour of South Africa and many see as a potential long-term heir to Johnny Sexton.
