Sexton to miss Ireland's game with Argentina

Captain Johnny Sexton twisted a knee and ankle against New Zealand at the weekend which will rule him out of action for between four-six weeks.

The Ireland captain will remain with the squad this week as the team prepares for the game against Argentina. The injury is certain to rule Sexton out of Leinster's Heineken Champions Cup games with Bath and Montpellier.

Connacht’s Jack Carty has joined the Ireland squad for the final week of the Autumn Nations Series. Gavin Coombes returns to the squad having missed last week through illness.
