Tullow Tank back on the paddock, in line for recall

Ireland flanker, Sean O’Brien, will almost certainly be fit enough to play some part in Saturday’s Six Nations match against England at Twickenham.

The Tullow Tank missed Saturday’s victory over Scotland because of a skin-infection on his foot, but, according to team manager, Michael Kearney, is now well on the road to recovery.

“Sean was released from hospital over the weekend and trained today so we’re very hopeful he’ll be available for selection,” said Kearney yesterday.
