Tadhg Furlong, the prominent Ireland prop, is poised to make a return for Friday’s clash against Argentina after his absence from last week’s defeat by New Zealand. Furlong joined his teammates on the practice field on Monday, signaling a likely comeback.
A persistent hamstring injury had kept the 31-year-old tighthead prop out of the 23-13 loss to the All Blacks in Dublin. With Furlong back in training, he is now preparing to secure a spot against Argentina in Ireland’s second match of the November test series.
Meanwhile, Ulster’s Tom O’Toole is ruled out of the upcoming encounter after entering the 12-day return-to-play protocols due to a head injury sustained shortly after his substitution appearance last Friday, as confirmed by team officials.
