Ireland

Rob Kearney remains a major doubt for Ireland's clash against Argentina at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday.

The full-back has been recovering from a shoulder injury suffered playing for his province against Benetton almost two weeks ago.

“Rob was working with the physios today,” said scrum coach Greg Feek.

"We will see how he goes but it is just a case of getting there. We will have our reviews this afternoon and see how he comes that. We will wait and see how he comes through. He was doing stuff with the medics and is on his return (to play).

“Hopefully things will progress for him. Rob Kearney is Rob Kearney, he’s a good man to have in the team, offers a lot of experience. In saying that we have good depth in the squad. This series is all about that, testing our depth in the squad, making sure that people can slot in and things can carry on.”
