Eddie O'Sullivan is expected to name an unchanged side for Saturday's Six Nations finale at Twickenham after his squad was given a clean bill of health this evening.

Despite the odd bump and bruise, the players involved in the 15-9 win over Scotland have all been passed fit and were put through their paces during training this morning.

As has become customary during this Six Nations campaign, the Ireland coach called a number of players into training squad as he prepares to take on England but it is unlikely any will feature in London.

Neil Best, Keith Gleeson, Jamie Heaslip and Bryan Young were the forwards added to the match 22 while Kieran Lewis, Robert Kearney, Denis Hickie, Tommy Bowe and Ian Dowling bolstered the numbers among the backs.

There remains the possibility that Heaslip or Gleeson could earn a promotion to the bench as back-row cover should Johnny O'Connor fail to shake off the groin injury picked up last week. However, O'Sullivan preferred to rely on second-row Mick O'Driscoll against the Scots and has given no indication of changing his selection policy in this regard.
