Ireland on Saturday named its squad for their last match of six nations against Italy in Rome.

Tadhg Furlong, Mack Hansen and Garry Ringrose return to all sets, while James Love and Ronan Kelehar’s fitness is being monitored.

France had a late return from the loss on Saturday after maintaining a back injury in Lowe Warm-up, but that injury has since shown improvement.

A decision on their availability will be made later this week.
