Jack Conan and Dave Kilcoyne have also remained back in Ireland.
IRELAND HAVE CONFIRMED that Munster hooker Diarmuid Barron has travelled to Biarritz with the squad ahead of Saturday’s final World Cup warm-up clash against Samoa.
Sheehan suffered a worrying foot injury in Saturday’s warm-up win against England in Dublin, limping off in the first half. He has remained in Ireland this week.The Leinster man underwent a scan on the injury and although Ireland have not provided an official update on the results, there is clearly concern as he was left back in Ireland to rehabilitate his injury.
Farrell would hope to have a player as important as Sheehan back in time for the crucial third and fourth Pool B games against South Africa and Scotland, but it remains to be seen exactly how serious his injury is. Ulster pair Rob Herring and Tom Stewart are the other two hookers in Farrell’s squad, while uncapped 25-year-old Munster man Barron has now given them another option.
