A huge Ireland training squad has been announced ahead of the Six Nations with 11 Ulster players selected. The squad will be pared down after a Wolfhounds game against England Saxons in Galway on Friday 25th and we’ll have a clearer picture of who’s going to be missing for Ulster after that.
Tom Court makes a welcome return to the Ireland set up and he is joined by Lewis Stevenson which is a bit of a surprise but well deserved.
Jamie Heaslip retains the captaincy despite the return of Brian O’Driscoll.
