There was some good news for Joe Schmidt today as injury doubt Tommy Bowe took a full part in training at the Ireland camp, ahead of the Autumn international against Australia on Saturday.

The Ulster winger has recovered from a calf injury and is now expected to be available for the weekend.

Jonny Sexton, Paul O’Connell, Sean O’Brien and Cian Healy also all trained earlier and are expected to be in contention to start on Saturday.
