DUBLIN : Ireland named a near full-strength squad for the Six Nations on Thursday, with just one uncapped player among the 37 selected and captain Johnny Sexton included as expected as he bids to return to fitness for the Feb. 4 opener in Wales.

Leinster team mate Robbie Henshaw is Ireland's only major loss through injury as they look to build on their recent excellent form with a first Six Nations title in five years.
