Ireland head coach Andy Farrell has named his 37-man squad for the Six Nations Championship and there is no place for Munster's Joey Carbery.
Robbie Henshaw is another notable omission, as he misses out through injury. The centre has had to endure an injury-hit season and a wrist issue has seen him sidelined.
Ulster forwards Nick Timoney and Kieran Treadwell are among the other players to miss out.

There is a place in the squad for uncapped Leinster back Jamie Osborne, however.
21-year-old Osborne is the only test newcomer selected and there are few complaints when considering his stellar performances for his province.

Farrell's panel includes three out halves - captain Johnny Sexton, Jack Crowley and Ross Byrne.
The veteran Munster pairing of Keith Earls and Conor Murray make the cut, despite a lack of game time at club level.
Connacht's Bundee Aki has also been devoid of playing time but he too is given the nod.
There are places in the forwards for Leinster's Joe McCarthy and Munster's Gavin Coombes.
Tadhg Furlong is among the 20 Leinster players called upon as he recovers from injury.

Ireland top the world rankings and were Triple Crown winners last year.
Head coach Farrell told the Irish Rugby Football website: "The Six Nations is a huge competition for us and another opportunity for us to grow as a group.
"2022 was a busy year as we got to work with a larger group of players as we continued to build our squad depth and competition for places.
"While there are a few players carrying knocks and others that have missed out on selection for the start of the tournament, they will have the opportunity to push their case playing for their provinces in the United Rugby Championship over the coming weeks as no doubt we will need to call upon the wider group as the tournament progresses."
The boys will begin their campaign with an away trip to Wales in Cardiff on Saturday, February 4th.
