Ireland hope to have both Tadhg Furlong and Tom O’Toole available for selection ahead of Saturday’s Autumn Nations Series clash with Fiji.

The tighthead prop duo both missed last Friday’s 22-19 victory over Argentina through injury, first-choice Furlong having also missed the November opener loss to New Zealand with a hamstring strain.
