Andy Farrell will make several changes to his Ireland team to face Tonga, this Saturday, as he keeps one eye on a huge game against the Springboks.
"Jack was out running, which was a real positive, and while Saturday will come a little bit early for him, I think the signs are really positive in terms of being able to train fully next week, and hopefully he will be available for South Africa,""It’s his first [time on
the training pitch] for the last few days. So, he has been doing most of his rehab in the gym with the physios. Today was obviously a very big day for him in terms of getting out and running. He ran really well, it’s really positive and he was in a good place afterwards."
