Forwards: Neil Best, Keith Gleeson, Jamie Heaslip, Bryan Young. Backs: Kieran Lewis, Robert Kearney, Denis Hickie, Tommy Bowe, Ian Dowling

Dowling will almost certainly feature on the Ireland A side that play England in Kingsholm on Friday night. The Kilkenny man was due to make his A debut against France in February but was forced to pull out in the run up to that game.
