The Ireland Under- 20 squad (sponsored by PwC) has been named by Coach Mike Ruddock for this year's IRB Junior World Championship which will take place in Italy in June.

Ruddock will bring an experienced squad with him to Italy naming eight players who were involved in last year’s JWC, including Captain Niall Annett.
Just two players named were not involved in this year's Six Nations Tournament, with Dominic Gallagher and Kieran Marmion coming into the squad.
Ireland share pool C with England, Scotland and South Africa and open their tournament against England on Friday 10th June in Stadio Communale di Monigo, Treviso.
