Head coach Andy Farrell has named his Ireland squad for the upcoming Six Nations, with Munster outhalf Joey Carbery left out
Robbie Henshaw misses out through injury while Munster backrow Gavin Coombes is rewarded for his excellent form of late with a call-up.
Following his squad announcement, Farrell said: “The Six Nations is a huge competition for us and another opportunity for us to grow as group. 2022 was a busy year as we got to work with a larger group of players as we continued to build our squad depth and competition for places. “While there are a few players carrying knocks and others that have missed out on selection for the start of the tournament, they will have the opportunity to push their case playing for their provinces in the URC over the coming weeks as no doubt we will need to call upon the wider group as the tournament progresses.”
Ireland begin their campaign against Wales on February 4th in Cardiff, before hosting holders France on February 11th. Next up they face Italy in Rome on February 25th, before a trip to Scotland on March 12th. The final game is against England in Dublin, on St Patrick’s weekend .
