Neil Treacy is joined by Bernard Jackman on this week's RTÉ Rugby podcast as we give our instant reaction to the Ireland squad for the opening rounds of the Guinness Six Nations.
We look through all of the big calls made by head coach Andy Farrell, including the call-ups for uncapped pair Edwin Edogbo and Nathan Doak.
With injury ruling out a number of players, including Andrew Porter and Robbie Henshaw, we discuss the opportunity ahead for some players who are back in the squad after time away, including Harry Byrne, Rob Baloucoune and Tom Stewart.
Also this week, Neil is joined by Ireland and Leinster hooker Dan Sheehan to get his perspective ahead of the 2026 Six Nations.
