Murphy And Dempsey Still In Contention
Girvan Dempsey took a limited part in training today with the Irish squad, which included a rehab session on his injured hip. His injury will be monitored over the next 24 hours to determine his level of participation in training tomorrow.
Geordan Murphy, Dempsey’s main rival for the full-back berth, did not train today but he did undergo treatment and a rehab session on his Achilles tendon injury.
The Leicester clubman will also be monitored closely over the next 24 hours to see what level of training he will be involved in tomorrow.
At this point, both players remain in contention for selection in the Ireland team to play Wales at Croke Park on Saturday.
