O’Sullivan to name squad for Romania friendly

Ireland coach Eddie O’Sullivan is today expected to name a 22-man squad for the upcoming friendly game against Russia at Thomond Park.

Denis Hickie, Kevin Maggs and Rob Henderson, who all missed the summer tour of New Zealand through injury, are likely to be included in the squad after regaining their fitness.

The September 7 friendly is a test game ahead of the Rugby World Cup qualifier against Russia two weeks later.
