27 Players Retained For Ireland Mini Camp And Aviva Open Session

Andy Farrell and the Ireland Coaching Team have retained a group of 27 players to partake in a two day mini-camp later this week which culminates in an Open Training Session against Richie Murphy’s unbeaten Ireland U20s at the Aviva Stadium on Thursday morning.

Finlay Bealham, who twisted his knee against Italy on Saturday, has been ruled out of the remainder of the Championship. Bealham had started all three games in the campaign to date.

Ireland captain Johnny Sexton is named in the group for the mini-camp, as is Garry Ringrose who was a late withdrawal from the Italy game with a tight calf and Robbie Henshaw who is returning from injury.

Also included for this week’s camp are Jamison Gibson Park (hamstring) and Tadhg Furlong (calf), neither of whom have featured to date in the 2023 Guinness Six Nations Championship.

All four Provinces are in URC action this weekend with a number of players released from the wider group to access game time.

After a priority window for Irish Rugby Supporters Club members last week, a limited number of tickets for Ireland’s Open Training Session at Aviva Stadium will be available to download for free from Ticketmaster.ie from 5pm today.
