Ireland XV to play England A at Thomond Park in February
AN IRELAND XV side will take on England A in February at Thomond Park.
The match will take place on Friday, 6 February at 7.15pm. Ireland open their Six Nations campaign against France in Paris the night before.
The game in Limerick will, according to the IRFU, “provide a broader pool of players with exposure to the national team” and a “valuable opportunity for players of national interest to be exposed to high-level game time in a green jersey”.
Ireland XV beat Spain 61-24 victory at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque, Leganés, last month.
There were eight different try scorers for Ireland, and out-half Harry Byrne registered eight out of nine conversions. Try scorers included Robert Baloucoune, Darragh Murray, Michael Milne, Jude Postlethwaite, and Paul Boyle.
