Tadhg Furlong remains in contention for a third British & Irish Lions tour this summer after being declared “fit and available” by scrum coach John Fogarty.

The Leinster and Ireland tighthead prop returned from hamstring and calf injury problems to play his first Test match in eight months a fortnight ago when he came off the bench in the final-round Six Nations clash with Italy in Rome.
