O’Driscoll has not fully recovered from the problem which forced him to withdraw from Leinster’s Heineken Cup semi-final defeat to Perpignan nine days ago.

However, former Irish team captain Keith Wood has been selected in the 47-strong training squad but is also ruled out of the Trial game because of injury.
