With the Six Nations returning in a couple of weeks, Ireland's head coach Andy Farrell has the task of naming a squad for the tournament. It will be interesting whom Farrell selects and where he will focus on the most positionally, but expect him to name a strong side. While this may or may not be the team Farrell selects, this is side that is projected to be brought on. It's not known how many players are brought on, but with 38 being named in 2019 and 35 in 2020, 36 seems like a good number. So this is the projected 36 man squad for Ireland in 2021 Six Nations.
