There's some very positive vibes emanating from the Irish camp on the injury front.
Outhalf Johnny Sexton is in a race to recover from a tweaked hamstring suffered in the win over England last Sunday week while flanker Sean O'Brien and centre Jared Payne have been following return to play protocols after that match.
Jamie Heaslip trained fully with the squad today and looks to be over the back injury sustained in action against France meaning he should be available for selection for the trip to Cardiff to face Wales on Saturday.
Team manager Mick Kearney had this update on Sexton at the team base in Carton House today
Overall, Kearney was positive with regards to all four players being ready for the clash with the Welsh at the weekend
