Geordan Murphy Called Up To Ireland Squad

Irish full-back Geordan Murphy could be set to make a return to international rugby after being included in the squad to face England at Twickenham.

Lions stand-out Rob Kearney picked up an injury in the defeat to France, leaving Ireland coach Declan Kidney with a hole to fill.

And Murphy, who suffered a dislocated shoulder back in September, could feature when the matchday 22 is named tomorrow (February 23rd).

Hosts England come into the game unbeaten in this year's Six Nations - having faced Wales and Italy so far.

They are priced 4/5 by Bet365(Go to Bet365 ») to be victorious, making them slight favourites over the visitors, who are rated at evens.

Paddy Power(Go to Paddy Power »), however, is offering odds of 10/11 for both sides.

Ireland will be looking to bounce back from their first loss in 15 months and could be boosted by the return of Donncha O'Callaghan, although they will be without the suspended Jerry Flannery.
