Eight players recalled for Ireland squad

Head coach Eddie O’Sullivan has recalled eight players to Ireland’s training squad for next Saturday’s RBS Six Nations match against France in Paris.

The eight players – forwards Reggie Corrigan, Mick O’Driscoll, Anthony Foley and Neil Best, plus backs Denis Hickie, Girvan Dempsey, John Kelly and Barry Murphy – were all named in Ireland’s original Six Nations party but omitted from the squad which beat Italy yesterday.
