(Reuters) - Ireland back row Jack Conan has started full training with the squad and could be in contention to play against Scotland in their final Rugby World Cup Pool B fixture in Paris on Oct. 7, assistant coach Simon Easterby has confirmed.
Conan injured his foot in the 33-17 warm-up victory over Italy on Aug. 5 and has not featured since, but such is his importance to coach Andy Farrell that he took a gamble on his fitness for the tournament, which now appears to have paid off.
