Ireland insist no player has been ruled out of contention for selection ahead of their World Cup quarter-final showdown with New Zealand at Stade de France on Saturday night.

Ireland team manager Mick Kearney issued an optimistic update on Monday morning following the Six Nations champions’ 36-14 victory over Scotland last Saturday that meant the Irish topped Pool A and booked their place in the last eight.
