Munster's Tom Ahern has been replaced by Connacht’s Cian Prendergast in the Ireland squad that will travel to Portugal for a pre-Six Nations training camp later this week.

Named as a development player in Andy Farrell’s latest collective for the 2024 Championship, Ahern was taken off during his province’s Heineken Champions Cup defeat to Northampton Saints last weekend having been caught twice in the head by the knee of Curtis Langdon.
