Ireland's Hansen trains fully before Australia Test

Mack Hansen, Stuart McCloskey, Garry Ringrose and Josh van der Flier all took part in some form of Ireland training on Tuesday

Ireland assistant coach Andrew Goodman provided an update on the fitness of injured quartet Mack Hansen, Stuart McCloskey, Garry Ringrose and Josh van der Flier before Saturday's Test against Australia (20:10 GMT).

British and Irish Lion Hansen was called into the squad on Monday despite initially being considered out for the autumn series because of the foot injury he picked up in his side's United Rugby Championship loss to the Bulls last month.

Ulster's McCloskey missed the 41-10 win over Japan after picking up a groin injury in the defeat by New Zealand in Chicago.

Ringrose and Van der Flier were also absent for the Japan victory with hamstring injuries.

But Goodman confirmed all four are in contention to feature against the Wallabies after they all took part in some form of training on Tuesday.

"It's great to have Mack back amongst the squad, he's a great lad to bring the energy up and boys look forward to having him," Goodman said.

"He took full part in training today and was running around well, Stu the same and Garry [and Josh] are going through their process return to play so they took part in parts of training today.

"They're [all] pushing for the week ahead."
