Bowe and Carney ready for World battle

IRELAND'S Tommy Bowe hopes to make himself available ahead of Saturday's World Cup warm-up game against Scotland at Murrayfield.

Bowe arrived home from a training camp on crutches and with a brace to protect an Achilles tendon problem.

However, a scan on Saturday was clear, and with daily treatment Bowe hopes to be included in the final run-out before Eddie O'Sullivan names a 30-man squad.
