Sexton misses Ireland training
Johnny Sexton sat out training with the Ireland squad as preparations continue ahead of Saturday's World Cup clash with Japan.
The Leinster out half picked up a leg injury in the win over Scotland over the weekend, with Conor Murray taking over kicking duties while Sexton was on the field.
The 34 year old underwent rehab instead today, with the coaching staff hopeful that he'll be available to take full part in training on Thursday.
In better news for Ireland Joey Carbery, Keith Earls and Rob Kearney trained fully with the squad.
Robbie Henshaw is back running as he recovers from a hamstring injury, while Bundee Aki and Peter O'Mahony have passed their Head Injury Assessments in full.
