"Ireland captain Caelan Doris could make his first start of the season against Japan this Saturday after receiving the all clear following his return to action against New Zealand."
"The Leinster No 8 has been sidelined since damaging his shoulder against Northampton Saints in May, missing out on the Lions tour and the start of the current campaign."
Caelan Doris could return to the starting XV for Ireland against Japan on Saturday after receiving the all-clear following his comeback appearance against New Zealand. Doris serves as Ireland captain and plays No 8 for Leinster. He injured his shoulder in May during a match with Northampton Saints. The injury sidelined him for the British & Irish Lions tour and prevented him from starting the current season. His potential start against Japan represents a key step in his recovery and could bolster Ireland's back-row options for upcoming fixtures.
