DUBLIN : Ireland are hoping to continue their Six Nations Grand Slam bid against Wales in 11 days time with a clear bill of health after management said on Tuesday they were optimistic of Tadhg Furlong, Mack Hansen and Joe McCarthy's return from injury.
Simon Easterby has seen enough Six Nations upsets in his time to know that taking Wales lightly is a folly.
Finlay Bealham and Mack Hansen are on course to be fit for Ireland’s Guinness Six Nations clash with Scotland but Tadhg Furlong and Joe McCarthy have been ruled out.
Pieter de Villiers believes Scotland have been steadily building towards a level where they are now ready to banish their Ireland hoodoo.
While the continued absences of Joe McCarthy and Tadhg Furlong remove two decisions from the equation for Simon Easterby ahead of Sunday's Guinness Six Nations meeting with Scotland, the interim Ireland head coach does have some big calls to make between now and when he names his matchday squad on Friday morning.
Rónan Kelleher says Ireland will be grateful for an extra day's rest when they head to Edinburgh to face Scotland on Sunday (live on RTÉ2 and RTÉ Player).
Munster's Tom Ahern and Connacht's Shayne Bolton have both been added to the Irish rugby squad ahead of next weekend's Six Nations clash with Scotland.
Tadhg Furlong's ability to be race-fit when it comes to the big occasions has always been an impressive feat and should stand to him in his latest comeback bid.
