Joe Schmidt has selected a large squad of 42 for his first get together as Ireland coach at Carton House this Sunday and Monday.
Nearly half of the panel come from Leinster who have 20 inclusions.
While there are two from abroad with Racing MetroÂ’s Jonny Sexton and Niall Morris from Leicester flying in for the sessions which will act as preparation for the November series of internationals.
Six players including the Blues Michael Bent have not been considered due to injury but could be involved in the matches depending on fitness levels.
Schmidt emphasised there was room for all comers while some youngsters whoÂ’ve impressed in the early rounds of the Pro 12 have been left to work with their provinces.
