Ireland say Calvin Nash and Ciarán Frawley are both still in contention to be fit for Saturday's Guinness Six Nations finale against Scotland at the Aviva Stadium.
The pair are following the return to play protocols after sustaining head injuries in last weekend's defeat to England at Twickenham.
Nash was present at this morning's training session at the IRFU high performance centre in Dublin, but Frawley wasn't involved, with the centre believed to be rehabbing the issue back at Leinster.
Despite this, assistant Simon Easterby insists the pair are still on track for selection.
"No one is ruled out yet," the defence coach insisted.
"Obviously Nashy and Frawls have to go through the process and make sure they don't have symptoms, if they did that might put them back a day, but both are on track to play.
"No-one else sat out training bar the two boys."
After the disappointment of seeing their Grand Slam dreams ended by England on Saturday, the Ireland squad still have to turn their attention to this Saturday's visit of the Scots, knowing they still need to secure the Six Nations title.
Standing in their way are a Scotland side who are also wounded after a surprise defeat to Italy in Rome.
"There's no lack of clarity of what they need to get ready this week," he added.
"There are subplots everywhere and we've been very fortunate over the last couple of seasons to play for something on the last weekend.
"We also know that Scotland will be smarting after that defeat to Italy, who deserved that result, but we know their back-three can create problems, Finn Russell pulling the strings and when he's on form it's difficult to stop their momentum.
"It heightens our awareness and feel of the game, we have a huge amount to play for and want to finish on a high, we want to put to bed what happened last weekend.
"We can't change that but it's the last game of the Six Nations and a title on the line.
"It's such a difficult thing to do, history tells you it's very rare that it happens. We haven't won back-to-back championships very often either, so there's a huge amount to be excited about."
In Saturday's loss, Ireland's previously stingy defence was exposed on multiple occasions by England, and most notably in the final play of the game when they quickly beat Ireland out wide to get into position for their game-winning dropgoal.
And despite being humbled by an English attack that had looked out of sorts earlier in the championship, Easterby (above) says their confidence hasn't been rocked.
"Expectation within the group is high," the defence coach said.
"Like any team that loses and has high expectations of themselves, they're disappointed in how they performed.
"They know there is more in us and it wasn't the best version of ourselves but England had something to do with that as well, so credit to them.
"We could have won it, we didn't, we need to take the learning from that but we can't feel sorry for ourselves. We need to pick ourselves up for Saturday."
