Joe Schmidt issues Ireland injury update
- 1452
Head Coach Joe Schmidt spoke to the media today and he reflected on Ireland’s loss to England and spoke about player availability for the game against Wales.
Schmidt confirmed that Keith Earls has some ‘what you might call tendonitis’ but should be ready for selection next week.
Conor Murray passed all stages of his HIA and trained fully today. Jonathan Sexton is nursing some ‘stiffness and soreness’ and while he could be available for selection this weekend he is more likely to feature in the final game of the Guinness Series against Wales.
Cian Healy is recovering well and is ‘bullish’ to get back on the pitch but was not due to play this weekend.
