Jonathan Sexton will train today ahead of Saturday's test with the Springboks at the Aviva.

He had been substituted during Racing Metro's Top 14 defeat to Oyonnax at the weekend with a tightness of the thigh.

Gordon D'Arcy and Rob Kearney are both expected to take a full part in training today.

Rory Best has a tight calf which will continue to be assessed as the week goes on.

While tighthead prop Mike Ross will be introduced to training over the next couple of days.
