Italian Job.

A 34-man squad has been named by the Ireland coaching group for round 3 of the Guinness Six Nations Championship. Ireland travel to Rome to play Italy in Stadio Olimpico on Sunday, February 24.

Chris Farrell has been reviewed by the Ireland medical team and is fit to train today. Garry Ringrose and Rhys Ruddock will continue their respective hamstring rehab at Leinster this week.

Will Addison has some lower back stiffness that is being managed at Ulster this week. Iain Henderson and Tadhg Beirne, who were named in the initial Six Nations squad, have joined up the group at Carton House this week.
