A positive result for one player earlier today saw that player and an identified close contact immediately isolated from the rest of the group.
The IRFU says that “the individual who produced a positive test has subsequently had two PCR tests at two separate labs, returning negative results on both.
“The player and the identified close contact have been cleared by public health and the tournament organisers to take their places in the matchday squad.”
As a result, Ireland will not need to make any changes to their matchday squad.
