"Ireland's 37-man Six Nations squad was along expected lines as head coach Andy Farrell deals with a mounting injury crisis ahead of the tournament opener in Paris in a fortnight. With 10 players listed as unavailable, Farrell has been forced to make a couple of tweaks, which meant some were breathing a sigh of relief that they made the cut, and others had to make do with a place in the Ireland XV squad for the game against England 'A' at Thomond Park on February 6."

Ireland have named a 37-man Six Nations squad. Head coach Andy Farrell is managing a mounting injury crisis ahead of the tournament opener in Paris in a fortnight. Ten players are listed as unavailable, forcing Farrell to make a couple of tweaks to the selection. Some players were relieved to make the cut while others were not selected for the main squad. Those not included were placed in the Ireland XV squad for the game against England 'A' at Thomond Park on February 6. The selection largely followed expectations despite the absences.
