No Concerns Over Earls

Keith Earls who was forced to retire in the 67th minute of Saturday’s game at Thomond Park Stadium is reported to be fit and well ahead of the Heineken Cup quarter final visit of Ulster.

Good news also with regard to the injured trio Paul O'Connell, Donnacha Ryan and Conor Murray who missed that game.

Ryan engaged in light training last Thursday while O'Connell and Murray visited a specialist in Dublin where they received the all-clear to resume training this week.

All three will be present when the squad assembles in Limerick for the first of two sessions on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Ian Costello will bring his British & Irish squad together this afternoon in Cork to begin final preparations for their semi-final tilt at Leinster on Good Friday in the RDS.
