Jacob Stockdale, Ireland Rugby

Ireland Rugby Summer Tour Squad announced.

The squad for Ireland’s summer series against the USA and Japan was announced yesterday. For what is largely a development team it’s an extremely disappointing representation for Ulster with a measly four players being selected (plus our latest recruit from Connacht).

The Front Row Union Young Player of the Year contenders Jacob Stockdale and Kieran Treadwell get the call-up, alongside the experienced Paddy Jackson and Luke Marshall with John Cooney’s involvement giving us an early chance to see how our new half back pairing will perform!

I suppose the main surprise is the absence of, The Front Row Union Player of the Year, Sean Reidy and I would have thought that Herbst would be popping along to get tied to Ireland. (Update – Herbst has been out for a knee operation. Expected back to full fitness by the start of the season.) It looks as though Rodney Ah You’s Ireland career is on hold at the minutes, but a good pre-season will do him no harm at all!

Probably . . .
