Hugo Keenan remains at full-back while Mack Hansen starts on the right wing after serving his three-game ban for criticising the officials in Connacht's defeat by Leinster in December.

While not part of the main squad, Leinster centre Hugh Cooney, Ulster back row James McNabney and Connacht duo Ben Murphy and Cathal Forde are included as development players and will travel to Portugal for the team's pre-tournament training camp.

Having avoided a lengthier ban for criticising match officials in a United Rugby Championship game, Connacht wing Mack Hansen is included.

With Munster scrum-half Craig Casey having been ruled out with a serious knee injury, Connacht's Caolin Blade is included alongside Jamison Gibson-Park and Conor Murray.

Connacht wing Mack Hansen will be available to play in Ireland's Six Nations opener against England after being handed a three-match ban for comments he made about the refereeing in his club's loss to Leinster.
