Ireland prop Tadhg Furlong is expected to see his first action of the autumn series against Fiji at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday.
The tight-head suffered a hamstring issue in training before Ireland's game against the All Blacks and was absent for both that defeat and the win against Argentina.
"I’d say bullish, he’s eager to get back and excited to be in and around the team again. It’s lonely when you’re outside of that so he’s excited to be in and around the team, and we are excited as well." While changes are expected for what is Ireland's third game of four this month, Fogarty said they will be respecting the threat of opponents who have beaten Wales and Spain, but lost to Scotland, this November.
