Tadhg Furlong and Joe McCarthy will miss Ireland's Six Nations encounter against Scotland due to injury. Furlong is out with a calf strain, while McCarthy suffered a concussion. However, Finlay Bealham and Mack Hansen, who both picked up injuries against England, are expected to feature.
IRELAND HAVE CONFIRMED that tighthead prop Tadhg Furlong and lock Joe McCarthy will not return from injury for Sunday’s Six Nations clash with Scotland in Edinburgh.
Bealham was forced off against England with a worrying-looking ankle injury, while Hansen suffered a deep cut above his knee in the opening minute but managed to complete the game after temporarily leaving the pitch to get the wound covered. “It’s very positive today, they trained well, they trained throughout the season – took part in the whole thing, so it’s good.”
Advertisement “Mack doesn’t think too much. It was a nasty enough cut but he doesn’t spend time dwelling on it. He’s moving really, really well. He’s out there sprinting and chasing kicks, all the bits. He’s good.” Fogarty confirmed that second row Joe McCarthy won’t complete the 12-day concussion recovery process in time to feature against the Scots.
“There are parts around our kick-chase that we have identified as coaches and there’s bits and pieces across the game. We’re always trying to improve. We want to have a better performance.
