England forward Maro Itoje has been passed fit ahead of England's crucial Six Nations encounter with Ireland at Twickenham on Saturday afternoon.
The second-row, who starts alongside Charlie Ewels had suffered an illness overnight before Friday's captain's run with Saracens teammate Nick Isiekwe waiting in the wings to replace in the squad with Joe Launchbury ready to step off the bench.
However, on Friday England coach Nick Proudfoot had been 'very optimistic' that the 54-cap man would be passed fit due to the fact that it was not COVID related.
