HOOK OR BY CROOK: Ireland's Dan Sheehan (right) celebrates scoring a try. 

Andy Farrell is banking on Dan Sheehan to continue the speedy recovery from a foot injury that allowed the Ireland boss to declare his first-choice hooker fit for next month’s World Cup.

The positive diagnosis on the foot injury the 24-year-old hooker sustained in last Saturday’s victory over England at Aviva Stadium allowed the head coach to deliver the good news as he revealed his team to face Samoa at Stade Jean Dauger tomorrow night.
