A 37 man squad has been named ahead of Ireland’s Guinness Six Nations game against France in Aviva Stadium on Sunday. The squad reconvened at their Carton House base in Maynooth on Monday night following last week’s mini camp in Belfast, which also included an open training session at Queen’s University. Rob Herring is included as one of three hookers alongside skipper Rory Best and Munster’s Niall Scannell. Fellow Ulster forwards Rory Best (captain), Iain Henderson and Jordi Murphy are also included, along with scrumhalf John Cooney and winger Jacob Stockdale. Ross Byrne, who was capped on the summer tour to Australia is named in the squad, which also sees the return of Connacht’s Kieran Marmion.
