Ireland number eight Anthony Foley has been declared fit to face Romania in Saturday's friendly international at Thomond Park.

The Munster forward had been struggling with bruised ribs but came through a fitness test in Limerick today.

Victor Costello, a late call-up this week along with Alan Quinlan following the withdrawal of Eric Miller and the doubts surrounding Foley's fitness, will fill the vacancy on the replacements' bench by coach Eddie O'Sullivan.

Quinlan is now free to rejoin Munster and will start in their Celtic League clash with Ebbw Vale at Musgrave Park on Friday night.
