Ireland's uncapped 13 - Michael Milne

Milne is now with Munster after coming through the Leinster academy

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.

Andrew Porter's Lions commitments could open the door for Ireland's fringe loose-head props to establish themselves.

At 26, Michael Milne is not as young as some of O'Connell's squad, so he will undoubtedly be keen to make an instant impression this summer.

Having only started 12 games for Leinster in the best part of six years, Milne made the move to Munster earlier this year.

He started four games at loose-head, scoring a try against Ulster before putting in a whopping 90-minute shift in the United Rugby Championship play-off thriller against the Sharks, which the South Africans won in a place-kicking competition.

A Grand Slam winner with the Ireland under-20s, Milne has previously trained with the senior squad in multiple international windows, but this summer could be a crucial period in his development.
