Injured trio Tadhg Furlong, Mack Hansen and Joe McCarthy could be available for the Six Nations showdown with Wales in Cardiff on February 22.

Prop Furlong and second row McCarthy have missed the victories over England and Scotland through calf and head injuries respectively, while winger Hansen played against England, but sat out at Murrayfield with a hamstring problem.

An Irish Rugby Football Union statement said: “The Ireland squad returned to Dublin on Monday afternoon and the matchday 23 from Sunday’s bonus point win over Scotland will enjoy a short break before returning for a mini camp from Wednesday night in Dublin.

“Tadhg Furlong continues to make good progress, as do Mack Hansen and Joe McCarthy with the Ireland management optimistic about their availability for the Wales fixture on Saturday, 22 February at the Principality Stadium.

Great news. I feel Sam Prendergast and indeed the strongest team has to start to keep improving before the vital match up with a wounded France.

Easterby hits back at France's conduct in the wake of Dupont injury

You can understand that given the dishonest public comments by Galthie re Ringrose and Ntamack, that any citing commission are even less likely to react to another public attempt at pressure. These processes must run without favour to individual countries. Galthie is again demanding special treatment for France. You will note that a a direct result of Galthies public attacks both Beirne and Porter ave received threats from French supporters?

Galthies behaviour did gain one result: Carley seemed to be afraid to give a straight red for the off the ball Mauvaka head butt on Saturday.

I am not a betting man but I can see France eliminated from RWC 2027 on a controversial decision. Everyone will smile and think; “The boy who cried wolf”.

Just to clarify the ONLY issue otehrwise in refereeing or citing issue was inexplicably ‘forgetting’ Thomas’ broken nose which allowed Ntamack to avoid a full 6 nations ban.

Mick Cleary: 'England are back among the heavyweights.'

I am not into this wild swinging of outlooks from match to match. In Lions teams terms, Ireland and Scotland were better in those matches than England. England relied on luck to beat Scotland. Ireland have the triple crown.

Ireland were playing for the Grand Slam and Championships and both were de facto gone last week, so I wouldn’t look too deeply into that Italy performance.

Wales were a little tired and English physicality broke them. England, France and indeed Ireland and Scotland can put up big scores when a match is done with time to play.
