Ireland have added uncapped Ulster hooker Tom Stewart to their Guinness Six Nations squad as injury cover for Ronan Kelleher in the build-up to Saturday’s opening game against Wales in Cardiff.

Stewart, 22, has joined Andy Farrell’s squad at their warm weather training camp in Portugal following a hamstring problem picked up by Kelleher who will have his injury managed by the Irish medical staff for the rest of the week.
