Ireland's 20-man squad for the European Cup includes five players from the country's domestic competition.

There are first call ups for prop forwards Ryan Boyle and Luke Ambler and Warrington's Challenge Cup-winning back rower Tyrone McCarthy.

These additions help offset the loss of World Cup players Sean Gleeson, Gareth Haggerty and Eamon O'Carroll through injury.

Scott Grix, who has finalised a move from Wakefield to Huddersfield for next season, continues to captain the side after his impressive performances in the World Cup.

Squad: Scott Grix (Wakefield, capt), Bob Beswick (Halifax), Liam Harrison (Barrow), Karl Fitzpatrick (Salford), Liam Finn (Dewsbury), Luke Ambler (Leeds), Marcus St Hilaire (Oldham), Pat Richards (Wigan), Mick McIlorum (Wigan), Tyrone McCarthy (Warrington), Jason Golden (Harlequins), Wayne Kerr (Oldham), Dave Allen (Barrow), Sean Hesketh (York), Ryan Boyle (Castleford), John Coleman (Dublin City Exiles), Brendan Guilfoyle (Treaty City Titans), Paddy Barcoe (Carlow Crusaders), Tim Bergin (Laois Panthers), Stevie Gibbons (Carlow Crusaders).
