Ireland's Australian duo of Finlay Bealham and Mack Hansen should win their race to be fit for the next leg of the European champions' bid for a Six Nations 'three-peat' -- and a date with Scotland's former Wallaby, Jack Dempsey.
The Canberra pair of Bealham and Hansen both sustained leg injuries during Saturday's 27-22 win over England in Dublin in the opening round of the championship, leaving them in doubt for the clash against Scotland .
But Ireland scrum coach John Fogarty offered an encouraging update on Wednesday, saying the pair were set to win their fitness battle, even though two other key figures, Tadhg Furlong and Joe McCarthy, are ruled out for Sunday's clash in Edinburgh.
