Ireland 5 Switzerland 2

Cookstown’s Andy Barbour is set to play in his first major competition after being selected in Ireland men’s squad for the European Nations Cup in September - just five months after making his international debut.

Ireland’s preparations for September’s European Nations Cup continue with a quadrangular tournament in Vienna next week.

Ireland’s bid for revenge over England for defeat in their three-match series a fortnight ago has seen them turn to former Great Britain international Soma Singh to become their assistant coach.

Ireland forward Ivan Steen will come up against some familiar faces next month when he plays against England in three Test matches.
