Please see the following injury update for the Ireland squad following Saturday's game against England in the RBS 6 Nations Championship.
The only main injury is Jamie Heaslip, who sprained his ankle but was able to finish the game. It is not thought at this point that it will keep him out of consideration for selection for the Wales game.
The starting XV from the England game, with the exception of Geordan Murphy who will return to Leicester, will come into a two day camp on Wednesday and will then disperse on Thursday.
Please see the schedule below for the relevant changes to venue and media access times.
