Tadhg Beirne will see a specialist today to determine his next steps after suffering a potentially serious leg injury in Ireland's Six Nations victory over France.

Munster's Beirne was helped off after suffering the injury early in the second half and left the Aviva Stadium in a moonboot and on crutches, and he could miss the remainder of the championship.

Johnny Sexton's suffered a groin injury during the 32-19 triumph and he will be managed this week, while Rob Herring is going through his return to play protocols after failing to return from a HIA after taking a high hit from Uini Atonio.
