The Ireland squad and management assembled today in Carton House to commence preparations ahead of the final two rounds of the 2020 Guinness Six Nations Championship.

Jordan Larmour will not be available to play any role in this autumn international window, while his Leinster colleague Ryan Baird has been ruled out of the two remaining Six Nations fixtures.

Connacht lock Ultan Dillane has been added to the squad. Two of his provincial team-mates, Finlay Bealham and Dave Heffernan, are progressing though the return-to-play protocols.

Squad captain Jonathan Sexton, Ronan Kelleher and Andrew Porter will be monitored this week with a view to commencing training next week.

Peter O’Mahony and Chris Farrell (pictured below) were identified as close contacts, are Covid-19 clear and will complete the period of isolation before joining up with the Ireland squad on Monday.

All players and management produced negative PCR tests on Monday ahead of entering national camp.
