The Ireland squad will train this week at the IRFU’s High Performance Centre at the Sport Ireland Campus in preparation for their 2020 Guinness Six Nations Round 5 fixture against France in Paris on Saturday March 14 and Andy Farrell has confirmed a 35 man squad ahead of the tie. Munster's representation remains at eight, four backs and four forwards, with Dave Kilcoyne set to start the French Round 5 game following an injury to Cian Healy.
Leinster’s Ryan Baird re-joins the group for the early part of the week having previously trained with the national squad in the preparatory camp in Portugal in late January while Ultan Dillane and Dave Heffernan join the group later today having played for Connacht in Port Elizabeth on Sunday in the Guinness PRO14.
