Fit-again Wallace ready to fire

Ireland flanker David Wallace is ready to put ankle injury problems behind him and spearhead his country’s bid for success at the World Cup in France.

It has been close to six months since Wallace last pulled on the Irish shirt - his 37th Test cap came in the Six Nations win over Italy – and a chronic ankle injury has meant it has been a frustrating run-in to the World Cup for the 31-year-old.
