Ireland Team Manager Paul McNaughton has highlighted the injury to Stephen Ferris as his greatest worry ahead of the Six Nations opener against Italy.

"Stephen picked up his injury in Ulster's win over Bath, so he wasn't in camp last week. The advice was to keep him off his feet completely last week, which we did," he said.

"He's in camp this week, he didn't train today. So, calls will be made in the next couple of days. We think that he's still available for selection."
