Johnny Sexton has reassured Ireland fans that he is "ready to go" against Australia at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday night - despite initially fearing he could miss out.
Sexton was able to train yesterday and again today at the IRFU's high performance centre in Abbotstown and his declaration will come as a massive boost to head coach Andy Farrell ahead of the final Autumn series fixture at the Aviva Stadium.
The 37-year-old skipper suffered a dead leg early in the second half during Ireland's stirring victory against South Africa a week and a half ago.
