Andy Farrell insists that Joey Carbery is "fit as a fiddle" and ready to go for the start of the Six Nations.
It means that Ireland boss Farrell has three out-halves to select from his squad for the championship opener against Wales on Saturday week, with Munster no 10 Carbery fighting it out with Jack Carty for a place on the bench to provide cover for skipper Johnny Sexton.
Carbery underwent surgery for an elbow injury he suffered in Munster's rousing Champions Cup victory at Wasps in early December.
