Joe Schmidt’s team announcement has been delayed until 2:30pm with fears of possible injury news.
This is the second occasion that Schmidt’s announcement has been pushed back in the space of 24 hours.
Rumours from Cardiff suggest that Keith Earls may be back in the midfield picture, after earlier speculation that he would be cut from the matchday 23.
That would suggest that Jared Payne did not come through this morning’s training session in good enough shape to make the cut.
