TRALEE man Ultan Dillane has been named in the Ireland squad for Round 3 of the 2016 RBS 6 Nations Championship against England in Twickenham.

The former Tralee RFC player was released from the squad to allow him to play for Connaught, just days prior to the French game, but now he’s back in the squad preparing to face the old enemy on Saturday at 4.50pm.

Injury-ravaged Ireland have brought in Dave Foley, Jordi Murphy and Craig Gilroy for the injured trio of Mike McCarthy, Sean O’Brien and Dave Kearney.

Cian Healy and Mike Ross return to the squad after proving their fitness. Tadgh Furlong and Rob Herring are both suffering with thigh muscle injuries so will remain with their provinces to rehab.
