Six Nations: Ireland squad update ahead of England decider

Andy Farrell's men are one step away from Grand Slam glory.

England stand in the way of Ireland's destiny with the last-round fixture taking place at the Aviva Stadium this Saturday, March 18 at 5pm.

Following Ireland's hard-fought 22-7 victory over Scotland in Edinburgh at the weekend, a squad update was issued in advance of this weekend's highly anticipated Six Nations clash.

Squad update:

Garry Ringrose is doing well today and has returned to Dublin. He will take no further part in this year’s Championship.

Iain Henderson is due to undergo surgery today on a fractured forearm sustained in the first half of yesterday’s game. The uncapped Ross Molony is added to the squad to provide additional second row cover.

Both Dan Sheehan and Ronan Kelleher sustained shoulder injuries against Scotland and both will be managed in camp this week. Ulster’s Tom Stewart has been brought in as cover.

Caelan Doris’ hip complaint will also be managed in camp this week.
