THE Ireland squad trained in the IRFU High Performance Centre on Monday as the squad prepares for the final Round 5 clash of the Guinness Men’s Six Nations against Scotland at a sold-out Aviva Stadium on Saturday, kick-off 2.10pm, live on Virgin Media One TV.
There are no fresh injury concerns arising from the 27-17 win over Wales.
