Brian O’Driscoll will captain Ireland on their tour of Australia and New Zealand after he confirmed his availability to the country’s management team.
The 29-year-old outside centre withdrew from the Ireland side which claimed a 39-14 victory over Barbarians after the death of a close friend.
But an IRFU statement confirmed that he will fly to the southern hemisphere in the next 48 hours and will join up with the rest of the squad before the first Test against New Zealand on June 7 in Wellington.
Ireland face Australia a week later on June 14 in Melbourne.
