Injured Irish trio look good to face England

BRIAN O’DRISCOLL, Gordon D’Arcy and Johnny O’Connor all trained with the Irish rugby squad in Dublin yesterday ahead of Sunday’s crunch Six Nations clash with England at Lansdowne Road.

“Both Brian O’Driscoll and Gordon D’Arcy have made excellent progress with their hamstring injuries and trained on the pitch with the rest of the squad this morning,” confirmed coach Eddie O’Sullivan.

“They will be assessed further but we are optimistic Brian and Gordon will be fit in time for Sunday.”
