The Irish international rules team have arrived in Melbourne from their weekend retreat in Lorne.

Manager Sean Boylan has reported a number of injuries after last Friday's first Test.

Full back Finian Hanley will undergo an x-ray today, Benny Coulter is suffering from a back problem, while Aidan O'Mahony is troubled by a hand injury.

All three will be monitored this week and while both Layton Glynn and Kieran Donaghy picked up injuries, Boylan expects both to be fit for Friday.

Ireland take the narrowest of leads going into the second game of the series, following Friday's 45-44 victory over Australia.
