Ireland's uncapped 13 - Scott Wilson

With 16 players on British and Irish Lions duty this summer, interim Ireland head coach Paul O'Connell's 33-man squad for this summer's matches against Georgia and Portugal features 13 uncapped players. BBC Sport NI takes a closer look at those hoping to feature in green for the first time.
Scott Wilson's rampaging ball-carrying has already made him a crowd favourite at Ulster and the prop has been rewarded with a late call-up to Paul O'Connell's Ireland squad four days before the tour opener against Georgia.
Regarded as having a big future in front of him, the prop overcame early injuries in his career, having three surgeries, one on his elbow and two on his ankle.
The now 22-year-old made his debut for Ulster against Munster in November 2023 and scored his first try for the northern province in their last-16 Challenge Cup win away to Montpellier in April 2024.
Wilson was a Grand Slam winner with Ireland in the Under-20 Six Nations in 2022 and was selected for the Emerging Ireland squad which toured South Africa last autumn.
The front row made a total of 19 appearances for Ulster in the 2024-25 term in either a starting or replacement role, 14 in the United Rugby Championship and five in the Champions Cup.
