Jack Aungier Added To Ireland Men’s Squad For Summer Tour

Uncapped tighthead prop Jack Aungier has been called up to replace his Connacht teammate Finlay Bealham for Ireland’s two Test summer tour of Georgia (5th July) and Portugal (12th July).

Bealham was today added to the British & Irish Lions Squad replacing the injured Zander Fagerson.

Lansdowne FC man Aungier has previously featured for Emerging Ireland on the tour to South Africa last autumn. He also trained with the Ireland Men’s squad during the recent Guinness Men’s Six Nations.

The former St. Fintan’s High School player has made 88 appearances for Connacht since signing for them in 2020 having come through the Leinster academy where he made five senior appearances. He scored a try on his debut against Ulster at Aviva stadium in August 2020.
