Skipper Brian O'Driscoll will lead the side after recovering from the hyper-extended elbow suffered during Sunday's 32-17 victory over Namibia and the Lions centre is expected to be joined in the line-up by Leinster team-mate Shane Horgan, who has completed his rehabilitation from the knee ligament strain sustained last month.

"Brian's injury has settled down overnight and following treatment," read a medical bulletin from the Irish camp. "The injury did not require an x-ray but will continue to be monitored during training this week."

It added: "It will not rule him out of selection for the game against Georgia.

"Shane will take a full part in training this week. His recovery means he will be available for selection."

There were also encouraging updates on Ronan O'Gara and Marcus Horan, who sustained foot and back injuries respectively, with the Munster duo set to be included in the team to face Georgia.

"Ronan bruised his left foot against Namibia but this has also improved over the last 24 hours and he is no longer an injury concern," the bulletin continued.

"He is expected to take part in training tomorrow. Marcus Horan received a knock to his upper back and has some muscular bruising in this area.

"Marcus will not take part in training tomorrow, but is expected to be available for the weekend's game."
