Joe Schmidt has been handed a boost ahead of
Ireland’s Guinness Six Nations clash with Italy on Sunday week with the news

Ankle Surgery after Ireland’s win over New Zealand and it is expected to play
some part in Connacht’s game with the Cheetahs on Saturday at the Sportsground.
Ultan Dillane, Tom Farrell, Caolin Blade and Jack Carty also trained with the
Connacht squad yesterday ahead of a crucial game for the province in the race
for playoff spots.
