Ireland head coach Andy Farrell had a full squad at his disposal for training on Monday as preparations ramped up for this Saturday’s resumption of the 2020 Guinness Six Nations.

Ireland face Italy behind closed doors at Aviva Stadium in a round-four game postponed from March 7 due to the Covid-19 pandemic and it provides an opportunity for Farrell’s side to rebound from a round-three defeat in England last time out on February 23.
