No Space For Henshaw In Ireland Squad To Face Wales

Ireland's Six Nations campaign kicks off this weekend.

There's no place for Robbie Henshaw in the Ireland squad taking on Wales this Saturday.

Andy Farrell has named his matchday 23 for the Six Nations opener at the Aviva.

The centre missed out on inclusion, as did fellow Athlone man Jack Carty.

Connacht's Mack Hansen is set to make his Ireland debut though.

He's been named to start on the wing.

Johnny Sexton will captain the team on his 102nd cap for Ireland and his 53rd appearance in the Championship.  

Sexton is joined at half-back by Jamison Gibson Park, while Bundee Aki and Garry Ringrose link up in the centre for a 15th time for Ireland.
