Robbie Henshaw is "very close" to a return for Ireland with the Romania match closing in.
The Connacht centre was ruled out of Ireland's opening Rugby World Cup pool win over Canada last Saturday, but trained today and could be in contention for Sunday's Romania clash, although Irish management are "not sure if he'll be ready for this week".
However, out-half Johnny Sexton sat out training today after picking up a "knock to his knee", but has not been ruled out of Sunday's game.
Iain Henderson and Peter O'Mahoney also sat out today's session but are expected to be fit.
