The Ireland squad have stepped up their preparations ahead of Saturday’s second game of the Nations Championship at McDonald Jones Stadium in Newcastle against Japan.
Jeremy Loughman (concussion) is stood down this week, and a decision on Rob Baloucoune (hamstring) will be made later in the week after he missed the 33-31 victory over Australia in Sydney on Saturday.
There are no further injury concerns.
