Captain Isa Nacewa (knee) and Rob Kearney (hamstring) are being rested until later in the week before a decision is made on their fitness. Similarly, decisions on the wellbeing of Sean O'Brien, Richardt Strauss and Mike McCarthy will not be made until Friday morning pending further return to play protocols after all were taken off for Head Injury Assessments during the defeat to Wasps last Sunday.

According to a statement by the province, “being day two of the protocols all three players took part in some light cardio work today and will increase their workload, providing they pass each stage, as the week progresses.”
