The Ireland coaching group will retain 25 players for the two day mini camp at the IRFU High Performance Centre later this week while the remainder of the squad have returned to their provinces to play in this weekend’s URC fixtures.
Tadhg Beirne will see a specialist today to determine the treatment plan for the leg injury that saw him leave the game early on Saturday.
Rob Herring will proceed through the Return to Play protocols while captain Johnny Sexton’s groin will be managed this week. Dan Sheehan will continue his hamstring rehab under the supervision of the Ireland medical team.
Cian Healy, Tadhg Furlong, Robbie Henshaw and Jamison Gibson Park will continue their respective rehab programmes.
The Ireland squad will train with Richie Murphy’s Ireland U20s later in the week. Both squads are unbeaten to date in their respective Championship campaigns.
