IRELAND SAY THEY are “optimistic” that Tadhg Furlong , Mack Hansen , and Joe McCarthy will be available for selection in the Six Nations clash with Wales on Saturday 22 February.
Advertisement Second row McCarthy is another player who has yet to play in this Six Nations having suffered a nasty head injury in training a few days before the opening clash with England. His concussion also ruled him out of last weekend’s win over Scotland. However, Ireland said it was a precautionary decision rather than a long-term issue and Hansen seems likely to be available to interim head coach Simon Easterby for the clash with Wales.
Ireland have released wider squad players back to their provinces for this weekend’s URC action but Easterby’s core group will gather in Dublin on Wednesday evening for a short training camp before having a rest weekend.
