Ireland captain Brian O’Driscoll came through his second training session this week unscathed on Tuesday. However his centre partner Gordon D’Arcy was forced to cut short his practice.
Ireland captain Brian O’Driscoll came through his second training session this week unscathed on Tuesday. However his centre partner Gordon D’Arcy was forced to cut short his practice.
While O’Driscoll – set to captain the ‘North’ selection in next month’s IRB Rugby Aid fixture at Twickenham – looks certain to be named in coach Eddie O’Sullivan’s side for Sunday’s RBS Six Nations clash with England, it is unclear as what D’Arcy’s involvement might be.
The Leinster centre – who spent last week rehabilitating his hamstring injury, along with O’Driscoll, in Spala, Poland – reported a ‘tightness’ in it and was withdrawn from the session as a ‘precautionary measure’.
More will be known when O’Sullivan names his squad at the CityWest hotel later today, although adverse weather conditions have interrupted the squad’s morning training session.
