Ireland prop Finlay Bealham has been cleared to face reigning world champions South Africa after passing his head injury assessments.<\/p>\n

The Connacht tighthead was withdrawn 10 minutes after coming on as a half-time replacement in Saturday\u2019s 59-16 victory over Tonga.<\/p>\n

All 33 members of Andy Farrell\u2019s squad trained on Tuesday ahead of the World Cup showdown with the Springboks in Paris.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Bealham, Ireland scrum coach John Fogarty said: \u201cHe was obviously taken off the field at the weekend and failed his (head injury assessment).<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s subsequently passed his tests and he\u2019s perfect, he was in a scrum today and he\u2019s good to go, symptom-free.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur medics and World Rugby have cleared him fit to play so we\u2019re delighted to have a full (clean) bill of health.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jack Conan and Dan Sheehan also took part in the session at Ireland\u2019s base in Tours, potentially boosting head coach Farrell\u2019s options for Saturday evening at Stade de France.<\/p>\n

Number eight Conan has been sidelined since August 5 when he sustained a foot injury during his country\u2019s win over Italy.<\/p>\n

\u201cJack is doing bits and pieces today, he didn\u2019t do a full-blooded one but he\u2019s on the field and he\u2019s going to do a little bit more tomorrow,\u201d said Fogarty.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019ll be managed as a returning player would be but yeah, we\u2019ve a full bill of health.<\/p>\n

\u201cJack (will) do more tomorrow and it\u2019s then a decision to see how he is. He\u2019s up for selection, we\u2019re on our feet, it\u2019s been brilliant.\u201d<\/p>\n

First-choice hooker Sheehan sprained foot ligaments a month ago in the warm-up win over England.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw him in a scrum today, so I was very excited to see him in scrums,\u201d Fogarty said of the 25-year-old.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did some timing in our scrums, some drop-ins, and Dan took part.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great to see him back involved. He\u2019s a player who\u2019s returning so we\u2019ll do a bit more tomorrow and see how he is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ireland lead the way in Pool B following back-to-back bonus-point wins over Romania and Tonga and could seal progression to the quarter-finals by denting the Springboks\u2019 title defence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s definitely an edge (in the camp),\u201d said Fogarty.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an incredibly exciting week to be involved in. Everyone wants to be in the starting 15 and make the matchday 23 so competition for places is right up there. To be playing the world champions in Paris is incredibly exciting.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are clear in our heads as a group what the plan is and who is going to carry out that plan.\u201d<\/p>\n
