Ireland Squad Update: Henderson Returns, Loughman Gets First Call-up

The Ireland squad has reassembled at Carton House following last week’s Open Session at Aviva Stadium and a number of players featuring for their provinces in URC fixtures at the weekend.

Ulster lock Iain Henderson returns to the squad having completed 80 minutes for his Province against Cardiff at the weekend. Meanwhile, Leinster back Jordan Larmour sustained a hip injury in the game against Benetton and has been ruled out of the remainder of the 2022 Guinness Six Nations.

Jack Carty, Dave Heffernan (Connacht), Craig Casey, Gavin Coombes (Munster) and Robert Baloucoune, James Hume and Nick Timoney (Ulster) all return to the Ireland squad having featured for their respective provinces.

The uncapped Munster loose-head Jeremy Loughman is called up to the squad for the first time, following the injury to Andrew Porter who will miss the remaining fixtures in the Six Nations. 

Ireland’s game against England at Twickenham on Saturday kicks off at 4.45pm and will be televised by RTE (ROI) and ITV (NI).
