Ireland named their team on Saturday for their final match against the Six Nations against Rome’s Italy.
Tadhg Furlong, Mack Hansen and Garry Ringrose are all back in setup, with James Lowe and Ronan Kelleher’s fitness under supervision.
Lowe was delayed in withdrawing from Saturday’s defeat to France after suffering a back injury in the warm-up, but that injury has improved ever since.
Availability decisions will be made later this week.
After crushing hopes for a Grand Slam last weekend by a 42-27 defeat to France, Ireland will name their teams for the Italian match on Thursday.
They are currently sitting third at the Six Nations table, two points behind leader France, and one placed second in the fixtures in Saturday’s final round.
Full Irish Squad to compete against Italy:
forward: Ryan Baird, Finlay Bealham, Tadog Bailun, Jack Boyle, Thomas Clarkson, Jack Conan, Gavin Coombs, Kaelan Doris, Tadeg Furlong, Cyan Helly, Rob Herring, Ronan Kelleher, Gus McCarthy, Joe McCarthy, Pett O’Mahony, Tom McCarthy, James Ryan, Dan Sheehan, Josh van der Freier.
back: Bundee Aki, Caolin Blade, Jack Crowley, Ciaran Frawley, Jamison Gibson-Park, Mack Hansen, Robbie Henshaw, Hugo Keenan, James Lowe, Stuart McCloskey, Conor Murray, Calvin Nash, Jimmy O’Brien, Jamie Osborne
