Dan Sheehan, Robbie Henshaw and Dave Kilcoyne could all be in the selection mix when Andy Farrell names his team this afternoon for this Saturday’s World Cup Pool B clash with Tonga.

The trio all returned to full training earlier this week after varying lengths of absence due to injuries but Jack Conan will have to wait a little while long for his potential return to active duty with the Irish management hopeful the back rower could be fit to face South Africa in Paris on September 23.
