Flanker CJ Stander is in a fight to be fit before the end of Ireland’s Six Nations campaign due to suspected facial fractures.

Ireland expect Stander to be sidelined “for up to four weeks” following the nasty-looking facial injury he sustained in Saturday’s 32-20 home loss to England.

Lock Devin Toner, wing Keith Earls and centre Garry Ringrose are all fitness doubts for Saturday’s trip to face Scotland at Murrayfield, the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) confirmed in a statement.
