JAMES LOWE REMAINS the only fresh injury concern for Andy Farrell following Saturday’s 42-21 defeat of England.
The winger was forced off after just 20 minutes at Twickenham after picking up a groin injury. The IRFU say the Leinster man will continue to be monitored ahead of the round four meeting at home to Wales on Friday, 6 March.
Meanwhile, Jack Conan will return to training this week after dropping out of the matchday 23 to face England due to illness.
With this weekend being a fallow week in the Six Nations, 11 players have been released from Ireland camp.
