O'Driscoll, O'Gara, Stringer to resume training today

Ireland coach Eddie O'Sullivan's three injury worries are to resume training with the rest of the 6 Nations squad today.

The squad came back into training camp yesterday ahead of Saturday's historic visit of England to Croke Park.

Brian O'Driscoll (hamstring) and Peter Stringer (fracture) narrowly failed to prove their fitness before the last match against France and were missed as the side fell to a late Vincent Clerc try.

Out-half Ronan O'Gara finished the game but had picked up an knock to his ankle and was rested as a precaution.

Yesterday O'Sullivan called up six extra players.

The Leinster trio of Rob Kearney, Kieran Lewis and Trevor Hogan have joined the training squad, along with Ulster forwards Bryan Young and Stephen Ferris and Munster centre Barry Murphy.
