Joe Schmidt has released a list of 44 names that will be called up for a one-day Ireland camp this Sunday after the weekend's PRO12 games.
There are four uncapped names in the squad - the most notable of which are Connacht's in-form winger Matt Healy, and Leinster's promising centre Garry Ringrose. Scrumhalf Luke McGrath and Connacht's second row Quinn Roux are the other two uncapped players in the squad.
There are some notable inclusions and exclusions in the squad too. Despite being ruled out until September - Munster captain Peter O'Mahony is included, while other players who are out injured like Tommy Bowe and Nathan White are not.
Iain Henderson and Stuart Olding make their returns from injury and they join the majority of the Six Nations squad. Luke Fitzgerald, Denis Buckley and James Cronin are three other names not involved.
