Tadhg Furlong and Andrew Porter have both signed two-year contract extensions with Ireland and Leinster until 2027, the Irish Rugby Football Union announced on Monday.
Prop Furlong, who made his international debut against Wales in 2015, has made 78 Test appearances for Ireland, winning three Six Nations titles, and has also represented the British and Irish Lions.

The contract extension will take Furlong to the middle of 2027 -- just a few months before the start of the next Rugby World Cup.
The IRFU said Furlong "remains a cornerstone of Ireland's scrum and his experience (is) invaluable to Andy Farrell's side as the squad build towards Rugby World Cup 2027 in Australia".
Furlong, 32, said continuing his playing career with his home province was a "dream come true".
"I am delighted to extend my long association with both Leinster Rugby and the IRFU for the seasons to come," he said.
"Since the beginning of my career I have aimed to contribute positively in a winning environment and I believe that there are bright times to come for club and country.”
IRFU performance director David Humphreys described Furlong as a "world-class tighthead whose influence transcends his abilities on the field".
"Since breaking into the Leinster and Ireland set-ups he has set a new standard as a prop and his hunger to improve and perform at a consistently high level sets him apart," he added.
The IRFU later Monday announced that Porter had also signed a two-year extension.
The 28-year-old loosehead prop, who started all 11 of Ireland's Tests in 2024, said it was a "privilege to work with such a talented group of coaches and players".
“Playing in Ireland is something that I never take for granted and I am delighted to commit my future to my home Province Leinster and Ireland," he motes.
"There is a huge amount of talent coming through the system at provincial and international levels.
"I believe that the level of competition will drive us all on as we bid for success in the months and years to come and I am proud that I will have the chance to be a play in the Irish system for the next number of seasons.”
“Andrew is an outstanding world-class talent and it is a huge statement of intent that he has committed his future to both Leinster and the IRFU," Humphreys added.
"He has maintained a consistently high level of performance for club and country and his durability means that he is a key figure in Irish Rugby and will continue to be so for the next few seasons. We are delighted that Andrew has signed a new deal and look forward to him taking the next steps forward in his career in the years to come.”
