It’s hard to believe that we’re only a month away from the 2016 RBS Six Nations.
Munster captain CJ Stander, having qualified via the three-year residency rule, Ulster centre Stuart McCloskey and 22-year-old Connacht lock Ultan Dillane were notable additions as Ireland formally commenced their quest to capture an unprecedented three-in-a row Six Nations titles.
Leinster duo Josh van der Flier and Garry Ringrose were also among almost 50 players in a pseudo-secretive 24-hour gathering in Carton House yesterday evening.
Ireland begin the defence of their title in the Aviva Stadium on February 7th against Wales with Joe Schmidt expected to announce his squad in the coming weeks.
