Ireland coach Declan Kidney has no significant injury worries ahead of his side's Six Nations trip to Rome on Sunday.

Centre Paddy Wallace needed stitches to an eye wound following the 30-21 victory over France at Croke Park on Saturday while Jerry Flannery suffered a stinger injury to this shoulder. But there was some good news with fullback Rob Kearney coming through the game with no reaction to his recent ankle injury.

A statement from the Irish Rugby Football Union said, "Both Wallace and Kearney are being monitored and neither has been ruled out of contention at this point for a place in the team against Italy."

The squad came back into camp this evening and in addition to the 22 players who were involved against France, Kidney has called up Leinster's Girvan Dempsey, Shane Horgan and Bernard Jackman along with Munster's Keith Earls, Mick O'Driscoll and Alan Quinlan.
