Cian Healy is responding positively to treatment on his ankle after picking up a knock during Ireland's win over Italy on Saturday.

The Leinster prop had to be substituted during the match with late try scorer Jack McGrath replacing him.

Peter O'Mahony is also likely to return after being rested due to a hamstring injury.

There are no fresh injury worries in the Irish squad ahead of this Saturday's all-important Six Nations clash with France in Paris and Johnny Sexton's thumb sustained no further damage.
