Ireland Squad: Uncapped Billy Bohan, Sam Ilo and Sean Jansen included but Jack Crowley left out

Uncapped Connacht trio Billy Bohan, Sam Elo and Sean Jansen have been named in Ireland’s squad for next month’s Nations Championship, but injured fly-half Jack Crowley has been left out.

Crowley, who re-established himself as head coach Andy Farrell’s first-choice out-half during the Six Nations, was not included after Munster boss Clayton McMillan He revealed that he had been diagnosed including vascular problems.

The 26-year-old’s absence means Sam Prendergast, Harry Byrne and Ciaran Frawley will compete for the starting fly-half spot.

Leinster props Andrew Porter, Jack Boyle and Paddy McCarthy are out, while there is no place for James Lowe after he announced his retirement from Irish rugby last week, rejecting a new contract with the club.

Ireland will face Australia in Sydney on July 4, Japan in Newcastle on July 11 and New Zealand in Auckland on July 18.

Kellan Dorries will captain the 36-man squad that visits Sydney on Monday.

Ireland squad members from Ulster, Munster and Connacht completed a three-day training block in Dublin this week, with Leinster preparing for Friday’s United Rugby Championship final against the Bulls.

Farrell, who earlier this month signed a contract extension until 2031, said he wanted his side to “build on our positive performances” from the Six Nations campaign which secured a fourth Triple Crown in five years.

“We have three tough Tests against Australia, Japan and New Zealand and it’s important that we hit the ground running in this new tournament,” said Farrell.

“The experience of playing down under will be invaluable for us and although we will be playing in front of a mostly biased home crowd, we are also excited to be playing in front of a huge Irish support.”
