Murphy to miss training due to injury

Geordan Murphy suffered a strain to his right Achilles tendon while playing for his club at the weekend.

Murphy is unlikely to train tomorrow and the injury will be further assessed over the next 24 hours by the Ireland medical team.

Girvan Dempsey has continued with his rehabilitation programme from his hip strain and will take some part in training tomorrow with the Ireland squad.

Ireland training tomorrow will take place at UCD at 10am and will be open for the first 20 minutes to vision media only.
