"Combination of senior and 'XV' squads give us an insight into plans"
"On Saturday, 46 players will represent Ireland across two fixtures being held in Dublin and Madrid."
"Injured regulars Hugo Keenan, Joe McCarthy, Garry Ringrose and Stuart McCloskey will not be among those lining out at the Aviva Stadium, nor will Edwin Edogbo and Brian Gleeson who were initially called up to the senior squad as cover and were expected to be involved with the 'XV' side taking on Spain before they got injured."
A combined senior and 'XV' approach provides insight into selection plans for upcoming fixtures. On Saturday, 46 players will represent Ireland across two matches in Dublin and Madrid. Several established internationals are unavailable due to injury, including Hugo Keenan, Joe McCarthy, Garry Ringrose and Stuart McCloskey, and they will not feature at the Aviva Stadium. Edwin Edogbo and Brian Gleeson had been called into the senior squad as cover and were expected to play with the 'XV' against Spain, but both suffered injuries and will not participate.
