A statement released by Ireland read: “Gordon D’Arcy received deep bruising above the left knee during the game.

“The injury is being monitored and treated by the medical team and he is not ruled out of selection for the Scotland game at this point.”

Winger Keith Earls, who scored two tries against the Welsh, and flanker David Wallace are on course to overcome calf and eye problems in time to face the Scots.

The statement continued: “Keith Earls had tightened calves and will also be treated and monitored throughout the week, but should be fit for selection.

“David Wallace received an accidental scratch to his eye during the game and the injury will be monitored during the week, but he is not ruled out of selection.”
