Kidney names Ireland squad for training camp

Coach Declan Kidney has named the first Ireland camp of the season which will take place in Belfast from July 26-29.

The camp is the first of three get-togethers with further three-day camps taking place in August and September.

The squad consists of players that were involved in the summer tours to North America and the Churchill Cup during May and June as well as several senior players who were not included for the summer tours.

The squad also does not include several players recovering from injury or any Irish members of the British and Irish Lions party as they continue their holidays following the tour to South Africa.
