Brian O' Driscoll is captain.

Deccie has named his squad for the upcoming 6N. There are NO Connacht players in the first team squad which is quite surprisng. Also Ian Humphreys must settle for an A squad place. Other talents in Ulster have got their chance (most importantly Darren Cave). Gordon D'Arcy returns.
Thought Johne Murphy deserved a place instead of Horgan who doesn't look up to it.
