Andy Farrell has named a 36-man squad for next weekend's Six Nations game against Italy in Rome.

There is a disappointing lack of new additions to the group, despite underwhelming attacking performances by Ireland against both France and Wales.

Exciting young talents like Leinster out-half Harry Byrne and Munster backrow Gavin Coombes are notable absentees from the squad. Both had been involved in Ireland training camps over the last three weeks.

The IRFU say that there are no significant injury concerns for the 12 players who featured for the teams in the Pro14 at the weekend.

Also included are Johnny Sexton, Conor Murray and James Ryan, all of whom missed the defeat to France due to injury.

Craig Casey, Ryan Baird and Tom O'Toole are the three uncapped players in the squad.
