Ireland name 36-strong squad to prepare for England
By Online Editors
Andy Farrell has assembled a 36-strong Ireland squad to prepare for next Sunday’s Guinness Six Nations trip to England.
It’s a squad that is one man less than the 37 called into camp at the start of the round two week versus Wales, the injured Garry Ringrose the sole name that is missing.
Ireland opened their championship with a win over Scotland and their bonus point success has them placed second to France on the table on points difference.
The Irish beat the English on their last championship trip to Twickenham, clinching the Grand Slam with a March 2018 win, but they have since been beaten twice by Eddie Jones' side.

“Cortez Ratima is light years ahead of anyone on current form, while TJ Perenara has also skyrocketed into contention following the unfortunate injury to the talented Cam Roigard.” At last some sanity. Hitherto so many pundits have been wittering on about Finlay Christie to the point one wondered if they were observing a FC in a parallel universe where the FC they saw wasnt just the mediocre Shayne Philpott project of Fosters hapless AB reign in the real world. Ratima, Perenara and Fakatava are the ONLY logical 9s for Razor now Roigard is crocked.
