Wales and Ospreys flanker Jonathan Thomas has come through fitness tests to be confirmed as a replacement for the RBS 6 Nations Championship clash with Ireland at the Millennium Stadium tomorrow (5.00pm)

Thomas, who was suffering with a dead leg, joins Rob McCusker (Scarlets) on the bench, with both players able to cover back and second row positions.

London Wasps back row forward Andy Powell is the player from the three named to fill two replacement positions last Tuesday who misses out on this occasion.
