Ulster are represented by Tom O'Toole, Zac Ward and Jude Postlethwaite.
Ulster Forwards Coach, Jimmy Duffy, is named on the coaching panel along with Head Coach Prendergast, Defence Coach Sean O’Brien, Backs/Assistant Attack Coach Mark Sexton and Scrum/Breakdown Coach Colm Tucker.
The province confirmed that Sexton will join Ulster in the summer as the new backs coach.
Leinster’s Max Deegan will captain Ireland ‘A’ as one of six players – alongside forwards Fineen Wycherley, Oli Jager, Tom O’Toole and backs Harry Byrne and Shane Daly – included in the squad who have been capped at Test level for Ireland, while 12 players were part of the Emerging Ireland Tour to South Africa last September.
The squad will assemble at the IRFU High Performance Centre on Monday before flying to Bristol on Friday.
Looking ahead to next Sunday’s game in Bristol, Ireland ‘A’ Head Coach Mike Prendergast said: “I am hugely excited to work with such a talented group of players and coaches and we’re all looking forward to the opportunity to represent our country in Bristol this weekend. The squad will assemble on Monday and we’ll need to hit the ground running to ensure that everyone is up to speed.
“Sunday’s game presents a huge opportunity against what will be a well-drilled England side who boast a lot of Premiership experience in their ranks. It is a task that we will approach with a positive frame of mind.”
Tickets for next Sunday’s match at Ashton Gate are available to buy here.
The match will be streamed live for free on RugbyPass TV.
