Garry Ringrose will miss Ireland's Six Nations Grand Slam decider against England following a horror head injury during Sunday's 22-7 win over Scotland.
The Leinster man was carted off in the 72nd minute at Murrayfield after his head thudded against the hip of Scotland substitute Blair Kinghorn. Fans and players alike held their breath as Ringrose received attention from Scottish medical staff, giving a weak thumbs up as he was wheeled off the pitch.
It will come as a surprise to few that the 28-year-old has been ruled out of Saturday's final round of fixtures, which will see world No. 1 Ireland welcome England to Dublin on St. Patrick's Day weekend. Victory over Scotland extended Ireland's run as the only unbeaten team left in the Six Nations, hoping to make it five wins from five and clinch their third Grand Slam success when they host the Red Rose.
