Double injury blow to Ireland's Six Nations hopes

A hamstring injury sustained in Ulster's PRO12 clash against Edinburgh has put paid to Iain Henderson's participation in the Six Nations. The player is healing well and hopes to be back to full fitness in time for the national side's summer tour of South Africa. Tommy Bowe tore his posterior cruciate ligament in Ireland's World Cup defeat against Argentina. He hasn't played since and looks unlikely to be back by the start of February.
