Ireland have not given up hope Hugo Keenan will be fit to face Wales in their Guinness Six Nations clash in Dublin on Saturday week.

The full-back sustained a knee injury in the second half of last Sunday’s 36-0 round-two victory over Italy at Aviva Stadium and was forced to sit out training on Thursday at the IRFU High Performance Centre in Abbottstown.
