Ireland coach Declan Kidney has named a 36-man squad for the first Ireland training camp of the season. The camp will take place in Belfast from July 26 to 29.
The Belfast camp is the first of three get-togethers for the enlarged Ireland squad, with two more three-day camps taking place in August and September.
The squad consists of players that were involved in the summer tours to North America and the Churchill Cup during May and June as well as several senior players who were not included for the summer schedule of matches.
The squad also does not include several players recovering from injury or any Irish members of the British & Irish Lions party as they continue their holidays following the tour to South Africa.
