An update on the fitness of Sean O'Brien should be forthcoming later this afternoon.
The flanker is a doubt for Saturday's Six Nations meeting with France, after he tweaked a hamstring in the warm-up to the win over Italy.
Johnny Sexton, Jamie Heaslip and Cian Healy are all expected to take a full part in training at Carton House today, having sat out the victorious trip to Rome.
