Preamble

It's a huge few weeks for Richie Murphy's men on the back of their Grand Slam win back in March. Speaking to the media before the squad was named, coach Richie Murphy spoke about his squad selection and his hopes for Ireland in this competition.

"It has been great to be back in camp over the last couple of weeks, building towards the Summer Series. Underage rugby is all about development and helping this group understand what it takes to be a professional player and the next month provides us with the opportunity to develop further.

"It has been a long season and unfortunately a number of players from our Six Nations campaign have been ruled out but that provides others with opportunity, and it will be brilliant to see our squad depth tested, to grow our player base and reward those who performed well for the Ireland U19s over the Easter period.

"We have some formidable opposition in the shape of France, South Africa and England with tight turnarounds between matches and it will be a tough test for us, but the group are really excited about the challenge."
