Massive blow as Chris Farrell set to miss the rest of the Six Nations

Chris Farrell set to miss rest of Six Nations.

Chris Farrell is unlikely to play for Ireland again in this season’s Six Nations and will most likely be an injury doubt for Munster’s European Champions Cup quarter-final clash with Toulon.

The Munster centre suffered ligament damage after twisting his knee during Ireland’s open training session at the Aviva this morning.

Farrell put in a man of the match performance in his Six Nations debut against Wales last Saturday.

Having missed that win over Wales, Joe Schmidt says both Iain Henderson and Tadhg Furlong should train next week ahead of the visit of Scotland.

Neither Jonathan Sexton nor Conor Murray trained fully today either, but Schmidt has said he is confident both will be fine for the visit of Scotland.
