Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Ireland squad have not been in a position to host an open session during Andy Farrell’s tenure.
11 players have been released to their provinces in order to access match minutes in the United Rugby Championship this weekend – Jack Carty and Dave Heffernan (both Connacht), Jordan Larmour, Jimmy O’Brien and Ross Molony (all Leinster), Craig Casey and Gavin Coombes (both Munster), and Robert Baloucoune, Iain Henderson, James Hume and Nick Timoney (all Ulster).
Leinster lock Molony joined up with the Ireland squad late last week to provide additional second row cover.
Robbie Henshaw will continue through the graduated return to play process this week, while Andrew Porter’s training load will be managed following a rolled ankle. Tom O’Toole is continuing his rehab at Ulster.
