Declan Kidney has called a 37 man squad for a training camp to be held  in Limerick from August 16-19.

This will be the Kidney’s second camp of the summer, following the one held in Belfast at the end of July. However, the Limerick camp will see the return of all the Irish Lions and some English-based players.

"The Belfast camp was productive in that we were able to continue to work with the players and pick up where we left off from the summer tour and the Churchill Cup,” said Kidney.

"A lot of players are being given an opportunity and from that point of view as well, we were happy with the spread of players we were in contact with in Belfast.

"The next camp will be slightly different as the players involved with the Lions tour come back into the fold, so it allows us to set some foundations for the coming season."
