Rob Kearney left out of Andy Farrell's maiden 45-man Ireland training squad

Leinster full-back Rob Kearney has been left out of Andy Farrell's maiden Ireland 45-man squad, named on Monday.

The one-day get-together, termed a '24 hour mid-season stocktake', will see the group of players gather under the new coaching group of Andy Farrell (head coach), Mike Catt (attack coach), John Fogarty (scrum coach) and Simon Easterby (defence coach) at the IRFU's High Performance Centre in Dublin across December 22 and 23.

Kearney, 33, has picked up 93 caps for Ireland since making his debut in 2007, and is the only player in Irish rugby history to start all 10 games of two Grand Slam-winning campaigns.

Included among the 45-man group are eight uncapped players, five of whom come from Leinster as back-row trio Will Connors, Caelan Doris and Max Deegan are named, in addition to scrum-half Jamison Gibson-Park and hooker Ronan Kelleher.

From Ulster, uncapped pair Billy Burns (out-half) and Tom O'Toole (prop) are included, while uncapped Connacht scrum-half Caolin Blade is also listed.

As well as Kearney being left out, Connacht 10 Jack Carty, Leinster hooker Sean Cronin, Ulster back-row Jordi Murphy and Connacht nine Kieran Marmion have been omitted.

From Ireland's 31-man Rugby World Cup squad, Rory Best (retired), Tadhg Beirne (leg injury), Jack Conan (foot injury) and John Ryan (leg injury) are also missing.

Injured out-half duo Johnny Sexton and Joey Carbery are involved, however.

"The national coaches have been around the provinces watching games and having good conversations with players and the provincial coaches," head coach Farrell said.

"We have limited opportunities across the busy provincial season to bring a broad group like this together but this 24hr window will allow us to plant a few seeds. It will also give the coaches a better insight into a few players who been performing consistently well for their provinces.

"The next six weeks is the window for players to put their hands up for selection for our first squad which will be named in late January ahead of the Six Nations."
