Ireland have the full complement of a 38-man squad at Carton House today as preparations continue for Saturday’s Guinness Six Nations opener with England.

Joe Schmidt welcomed back a number of players that were absent from last week’s warm weather training camp in Portugal.

Leinster pair Rob Kearney and Jack McGrath return to the fold having both featured in last Friday’s 22-17 victory over Scarlets at the RDS.

Andrew Conway and Jack Conan, who remained in Ireland last week to rehab their respective injuries, also rejoined the squad.

Last week Ultan Dillane was drafted into the squad after second rows Iain Henderson and Tadhg Beirne were ruled out of the early rounds of the tournament, while Adam Byrne remains in camp having being drafted in as cover for Conway.
