Wolfhounds 'can raise hands for senior selection'

Ireland assistant coach Les Kiss has provided the Ireland Wolfhounds squad with added incentive ahead of Friday’s meeting with England Saxons by revealing that those who perform well will be in the mix for a starting place against Wales in the opening Six Nations game.

Luke Fitzgerald, Andrew Trimble, Tom Court and Isaac Boss are among the more experienced players named in the Wolfhounds squad who will feel they are worthy of a place among Kidney’s first choice.
