itemprop=description content=Ireland are still assessing injuries suffered against Scotland.
Ireland have no concerns about potentially thrusting Test rookie Jimmy O’Brien into a World Cup quarter-final against New Zealand as they anxiously wait on the availability of first-choice wings Mack Hansen and James Lowe.
The 26-year-old may well be needed against the All Blacks as, in addition to the fitness concerns for Lowe and Hansen, veteran wing Keith Earls is nursing a slight hamstring problem. “In the next 24 to 48 hours we’ll be able to get a better read on those guys, but everyone’s in good form today, which is nice.”
“But we were really pleased it was flagged when it was and we had the opportunity to make the call early enough.“They’ll both be running today, Earlsy and Robbie, and will sort of be progressing into training Monday or Tuesday.”Lock James Ryan, who injured his other wrist after sustaining a similar issue against South Africa a fortnight ago, is another player being assessed.
