Tadhg Furlong has been ruled out of Ireland’s opening Six Nations match against England due to injury.

The 32-year-old Leinster prop will sit out Saturday’s game at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin after suffering a recurrence of a calf problem during training in Portugal.

Furlong has returned to Dublin for further assessment.

The tight-head missed all four of Ireland’s November fixtures due to a hamstring issue and only returned for Leinster in the win over La Rochelle three weeks ago before sitting out the win against Bath.
