Read our privacy policy Ireland captain Johnny Sexton has been ruled out of Saturday’s Six Nations clash with France due to a hamstring strain. British and Irish Lions Iain Henderson and Robbie Henshaw return to the Irish bench following injuries in the only other changes from last weekend’s bonus-point win over Wales in Dublin. Lock Henderson has not played since sustaining an ankle injury in his province’s Heineken Champions Cup win over Northampton on December 17 – his only outing since Ireland beat New Zealand in November. Hooker Ronan Kelleher continues alongside loosehead prop Andrew Porter and tighthead Tadhg Furlong, with Caelan Doris and Josh van der Flier either side of Jack Conan in the back row.
