Holland Added To Ireland Squad

The IRFU have announced the Ireland Squad for Round 3 of 2015 RBS 6 Nations Championship with second row Billy Holland joining eight other Munster representatives at Carton House this week.

One of Munster's most consistent performers, Holland recently won his 100th cap for the province (against Connacht in PRO12 in January) and has made 17 provincial appearances to date this season.

The Cork-man was also part of the Nations Cup winning Emerging Ireland team last summer.

Ulster's Roger Wilson has also been added to the Ireland squad ahead of the game against England at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday March 1st – KO 3pm.

Commenting on Holland's inclusion, Munster Head Coach Anthony Foley said, "Billy has been excellent for us. He’s made a Trojan effort for us so far this season. I don’t want to use the word reliable because that’s nearly disparaging – he’s one of our top performers and he’s very consistent at it."
