The Ireland squad reassembled last night at Carton House following last week’s open training session at the Aviva Stadium and a number of players featuring for their provinces in the United Rugby Championship.
Iain Henderson returns to the squad having completed 80 minutes for Ulster against Cardiff at the weekend.
Jordan Larmour sustained a hip injury during Leinster’s game against Benetton and has been ruled out of the remainder of the 2022 Guinness Six Nations.
Jack Carty and Dave Heffernan (both Connacht), Craig Casey and Gavin Coombes (both Munster), and Robert Baloucoune, James Hume and Nick Timoney (all Ulster) all return to the Ireland squad having featured for their respective provinces.
Uncapped Munster loosehead Jeremy Loughman is called up to the national squad for the first time.
Ireland’s fourth round clash with England at Twickenham on Saturday kicks off at 4.45pm and will be televised by RTE (ROI) and ITV (NI).
