All the players who featured in the win over Canada came through unscathed, with Jordi Murphy the only long-term absentee.

In a further boost for Joe Schmidt, Iain Henderson has resumed full training after recovering from a shoulder injury.

Darren Sweetnam and Dave Kilcoyne will not feature this weekend with both players returning to Munster.

Meanwhile, Brian O'Driscoll will be inducted into the World Rugby Hall of Fame later this week.

Ireland's all-time leading try-scorer is one of 12 players to be included in this year's honours.
