35 man squad in for training this week

Leinster's uncapped pair Ryan Baird and Will Connors will both link up with the Ireland senior squad this week.

With the Six Nations meeting with Italy postponed this week, head coach Andy Farrell has assembled a 35-man squad for a training camp.

Leinster second row Baird comes in following a hattrick of tries in the Pro14 on Friday night, having previously trained with the group during their camp in Portugal in January.

Cian Healy drops out, after being ruled out for the remainder of the tournament with a hip injury, however Andy Farrell Farrell has opted against calling in a replacement looshead prop.

Ireland's meeting with France on March 14 is scheduled to go ahead, although tournament organisers are meeting in Paris today to decide the fate of this year's tournament, due to the Coronavirus outbreak.
