Ireland defence coach Simon Easterby expects Caelan Doris to be fully fit for Saturday afternoon’s Six Nations clash with Italy, despite the back-row sitting out training in Dublin this morning.
Doris is said to be carrying a few knocks from the opening two rounds of the Championship, but that missing training today was part of a wider load-management plan.
