Humphreys returns as Sheahan sings McCall’s praises

DAVID HUMPHREYS returned to training yesterday having recovered from a nasty facial injury sustained during Ireland’s opening test against Japan in Osaka on Sunday.

The Irish skipper staggered from the pitch, holding his mouth after the heavy blow. However, following an X-ray, a loose tooth was secured and no serious damage was diagnosed.

Humphreys, the only player who didn't participate in the contact session, will be fit for the second and final test at the weekend.
