Dan Sheehan Returns to Ireland Six Nations Squad

Ireland's Six Nations squad sees a significant boost with the return of key players, including Dan Sheehan, James Lowe, and Hugo Keenan, ahead of their opening match against England on February 1. Sheehan, who has recovered from an ACL injury sustained in July, is expected to make his first appearance since then with Leinster, potentially facing Bath or the Stormers. The squad, announced by interim coach Simon Easterby, includes 36 players, with Leinster prop Jack Boyle being the only uncapped member. Despite some players like Jacob Stockdale missing out due to injury, Easterby emphasizes the continuity and competitiveness of the team. Tickets for the Ireland v England match are in high demand, selling for prices up to €2,480 on resale sites. This emphasizes the anticipation and excitement surrounding the Six Nations, a highly contested tournament in the rugby calendar.
