Chris Farrell likely to miss remainder of Six Nations

Chris Farrell is likely to miss the remainder of the Six Nations after suffering a knee injury during Ireland's open training session at the Aviva Stadium today. 

The Munster centre made his Six Nations debut against Wales last weekend as Ireland won their third straight game to move five points ahead of England.

Joe Schmidt's men trained alongside the Ireland U20's earlier today and the former Grenoble centre seemed to be in pain as he received attention from Ireland's medical team.

“Chris Farrell received treatment on the field earlier today after twisting his knee in the turf,” says the IRFU. “He subsequently jogged on to re-join the rest of the playing group and felt well.

“He was sent for a precautionary scan this afternoon which indicated some ligament damage had occurred and he will now see a specialist. Chris is unlikely to be available for the remainder of the 6 Nations.”
