Ireland expect clean bill of health for Six Nations opener against Wales on Saturday

Tadhg Furlong, James Ryan and Iain Henderson will be ready to train fully tomorrow as Ireland ramp up their preparations for Saturday's opening Six Nations clash with Wales at the Aviva Stadium.

The experienced trio have been managing their training loads at Ireland's base in Portugal since last Thursday, when the squad arrived in Quinta da Lago.

The squad is not training today but the trio are expected to get back to full tilt tomorrow, which means head coach Andy Farrell will have a full complement of players to select from as Ireland begin their championship bid.
