DUBLIN, Ireland -- Ireland coach Joe Schmidt mixed youth and experience by including seven uncapped players in his extended 44-man squad for the Six Nations on Tuesday. Phil Simms Jersey . Cardiff Blues forward Robin Copeland is among the new additions, alongside New Zealand-born prop Rodney Ah You, Robbie Diack, Rob Herring, Martin Moore and Jordi Murphy. Kieran Marmion is the sole uncapped player in the backline. "As always, a number of the selections were very tight," Schmidt said. "There is an experienced core of players in the squad who will offer continuity, as well as some new additions who have been selected with an eye to the future." Ireland opens its campaign at home to Scotland on Feb. 2 before hosting defending champion Wales. Schmidt says Richardt Strauss, Donnacha Ryan, Roger Wilson, Tommy Bowe, Simon Zebo, Declan Fitzpatrick and Craig Gilroy -- who was injured in Ulsters victory over Montpellier in the Heineken Cup last week -- have been left out but may return if they recover in time. "A number of players currently injured or returning from injury will remain with their provinces to gain further recovery time or game-time," Schmidt said. "Some of these players may yet return for 6 Nations matches." Sean OBrien, Stephen Ferris, Mike Sherry and Stuart Olding, though, "will be unavailable in the longer term" and are unlikely to make the tournament. ------ Extended Ireland squad: Forwards: Rodney Ah You, Stephen Archer, Rory Best, Robin Copeland, Sean Cronin, Robbie Diack, Cian Healy, Jamie Heaslip, Iain Henderson, Chris Henry, Rob Herring, David Kilcoyne, Mike McCarthy, Jack McGrath, Martin Moore, Jordi Murphy, Paul OConnell, Tommy ODonnell, Peter OMahony, Mike Ross, Rhys Ruddock, Devin Toner, Dan Tuohy, Damien Varley.

According to a release sent by the league, the Saskatchewan Roughriders were the only team to exceed the cap.

The 26-year-old Messi doubled over during Argentinas 0-0 draw against Romania on Wednesday. Martino thought Messi had the flu before a 3-1 loss to Real Sociedad nearly two weeks ago. But the Argentine coach has changed his thinking since. "This is something hes had for quite some time. Im not a specialist and so far we havent figured out what is causing this, but this doesnt affect his play," Martino said on Friday. "But something is not right." Martino told a news conference that Messi had seen a specialist, which proved inconclusive. Despite this, Messi was included in the squad for Saturdays match at Valladolid. Midfielder Andres Iniesta will not play at the Jose Zorrilla Stadium after being left out for ppersonal reasons. Geno Smith Jersey . Jordi Alba will also be missing as Martino does not want to "overwork" the Spain fullback going into Wednesdays Champions League home match against Manchester City. Center back Gerard Pique returns from injury against Valladolid. Defender Carles Puyol was also left out of the team after having announced his intention to leave his boyhood club at the end of the season. Martino suggested Barcelonas current squad was not deep enough to fill Puyols void next season, and it will need to tap the summer transfer market to find a centre back. "What I cant imagine is (Barcelona) signing a third or fourth-rate player. Barca doesnt sign such players," Martino said. "(Puyol) is the kind of player a club very rarely comes across. Footballers like these are irreplaceable." Barcelona trails Spanish league leader Real Madrid by one point in the standings.
