Doubts over Hickie
April 4, 2002

Ireland wing Denis Hickie is a doubt for Saturday's Lloyds TSB Six Nations Championship game against France in Paris.

Hickie has been receiving treatment for a back spasm and Irish coach Eddie O'Sullivan has called up Tyrone Howe from the A team to the senior squad as a precaution.

Howe's place in the A team for Friday night's game goes to Gordon D'Arcy of Leinster with Munster's Anthony Horgan switching to the left wing.

London Irish back Justin Bishop fills the vacancy left on the substitutes' bench.
