Easterby Names 36-Player Squad for 2025 Six Nations
Interim head coach Simon Easterby has named a 36-player Ireland squad for the 2025 Guinness Men's Six Nations, with Caelan Doris selected as captain. Easterby steps in for Andy Farrell, who is leading the British and Irish Lions tour this summer.
The squad includes one uncapped player, Leinster prop Jack Boyle, who participated as a Development Player during last year's Autumn Nations Series. Joining him as Development Players are Hugh Cooney, James McNabney, Ben Murphy, and Cathal Forde.
James Lowe and Dan Sheehan are expected to rejoin the squad in Portugal, pending successful returns from injury.
Ireland's Six Nations campaign kicks off on February 1 against England at a sold-out Aviva Stadium. The team will then travel to face Scotland, Wales, France, and Italy in what promises to be a highly competitive tournament.
"The Six Nations is a tough competition, and we need to be ready from the first match," Easterby said. "I'm excited to work with this group, and the players are eager to take on the challenge."
Forwards: Ryan Baird, Finlay Bealham, Tadhg Beirne, Jack Boyle, Thomas Clarkson, Jack Conan, Caelan Doris (captain), Tadhg Furlong, Cian Healy, Iain Henderson, Rob Herring, Cormac Izuchukwu, Rónan Kelleher, Gus McCarthy, Joe McCarthy, Peter O'Mahony, Andrew Porter, Cian Prendergast, James Ryan, Dan Sheehan, Josh van der Flier.
Backs: Bundee Aki, Caolin Blade, Jack Crowley, Ciaran Frawley, Jamison Gibson-Park, Mack Hansen, Robbie Henshaw, Hugo Keenan, James Lowe, Conor Murray, Calvin Nash, Jimmy O'Brien, Jamie Osborne, Sam Prendergast, Garry Ringrose.
Development Players: Hugh Cooney, Cathal Forde, James McNabney, Ben Murphy.
