O'Driscoll set to return against Wales

Brian O’Driscoll is primed to make his return against Wales next weekend as Ireland bid to land their first victory of the 2004 RBS 6 Nations championship.

Ireland opened their campaign with a 35-17 mauling by France – and although the scoreline fails to reflect a brave Irish performance which witnessed the odd flash of brilliance, Eddie O’Sullivan’s men finished well beaten.
