Ireland will be without Garry Ringrose and Iain Henderson for the final leg of their Grand Slam bid against England this weekend.

The IRFU confirmed that Ringrose was able to return to Dublin after being stretchered off with a nasty head injury against Scotland yesterday. The union report that the Leinster centre is "doing well today".

Henderson, meanwhile, will undergo surgery on a fractured forearm and is set to miss Ulster's Heineken Champions Cup clash with Leinster on April 1 as well as Saturday's game.

Ryan Baird is likely to replace him at second-row, with Kieran Treadwell coming on to the bench. At centre, Robbie Henshaw is the likely replacement for Ringrose.

Caelan Doris (hip) and hookers Dan Sheehan and Ronan Kelleher (both shoulder) have remained in camp and have not been ruled out of contention for the game.

Andy Farrell has called up Leinster lock Ross Molony and Ulster hooker Tom Stewart as cover ahead of the England game.

England have lost centre Ollie Lawrence for the final game of their miserable campaign, with Manu Tuilagi available once more.
