Dublin - Ireland flyhalf Johnny Sexton has been cleared to play against Wales in Saturday's Six Nations showdown with Wales in Cardiff after passing a fitness Test on Tuesday.
Irish Assistant coach Richie Murphy confirmed that the on-form playmaker had trained fully on Tuesday, after recovering from hamstring trouble.
The news was a huge boost for the unbeaten Irish following previous injury all-clears given for Jamie Heaslip, Sean O'Brien and Jared Payne.
