Here are the 45 names charged with winning the Rugby World Cup for Ireland

"Rhys Ruddock would have been selected but has been ruled him out after fracturing his arm against Uruguay last week."

There are just two uncapped players in the 45 – Leinster duo Jack Conan and Tadhg Furlong – while Paul O'Connell will captain the side.

The first warm-up match for Schmidt's squad will be against Wales in Cardiff on August 8.
