Eddie O'Sullivan and the Irish team management have confirmed their 30-man squad for the upcoming training camp in the Canaries.

Ulster play Edinburgh at December 21 stand while David Humphreys is included in the Ireland travelling party, a final decision on his participation will not be made until later in the week.
Among the new faces in the squad are Clontarf's Bernard Jackman and UCD's Brian O' Riordan while there are returns to the international fold for the likes of Emmet Byrne and Jeremey Staunton.
The Ulster players not considered were Gary Longwell, Simon Best, Neil Doak, Tyrone Howe, Paul Shields and Paddy Wallace, while injury continues to rule out Alan Quinlan, Leo Cullen, Denis Hickie, Geordan Murphy and Jonathan Bell.
