Jones Back

Felix Jones will return to action at some level over the coming weekend.

Jones took a full part in training this morning at CIT and if he reports no ill-effects then he will return to action at the weekend.

Not such good news for Keith Earls or Wian du Preez who have both been ruled out of the Heineken Cup game with Racing Metro.

Earls (groin) saw a specialist this afternoon and will be out for a number of weeks and du Preez who injured a knee in the game against Leinster, sees a specialist tomorrow when a timeframe on his absence can be better established.

Niall Ronan who was a late withdrawal from the squad for the Leinster game, did train today but didn't take a full part and is unlikely to be in consideration for the Racing game.
