England winger Jason Robinson travelled with the team to Dublin yesterday but no decision on his participation in tomorrow's Six Nations clash will be made for 24 hours.

The Rugby Football Union (RFU) said that the World Cup winner had made a good initial recovery from the neck injury he sustained on Wednesday.

The Sale captain, who has scored three tries in two Six Nations games since his return from international retirement, will continue to receive treatment for his injury.

Uncapped Harlequins wing David Strettle, who was added to the squad on Wednesday, will remain with the squad.

Flyhalf Jonny Wilkinson also missed yesterday's training sessions because of "concerns regarding the bumps and bruises he had last week and some tightness to his right hamstring".

Mike Catt also flew out with the team yesterday as precautionary cover, the RFU said.
