Hooker seeing a specialist in Dublin after hooker sustained an injury in last Saturday’s win over England
Nor was Catt inclined to shed any light on speculation that Sheehan might be sidelined for six to eight weeks.
There’s little doubt that were Sheehan not named in the squad next Monday, he would be a significant loss, having quickly became a cornerstone of the Irish pack in the last year and a half. “So, it gives these guys an opportunity to have a pop this weekend and again, depending on the diagnosis, we’ll see how we go on the back end of it. Dan is a world-class rugby player, he has been instrumental in terms of how we play our game. So, he’d be a big loss to anybody.”
Despite two relatively commanding wins over Italy and England, scoring five tries in each, there remains frustration with what Farrell has described as clunky performances and looking ahead to next Saturday’s game Catt conceded: “I think we need to be a lot more clinical. We need to play our way, we know exactly what’s coming with Samoa, they are a big, physical side, we need to make sure we play our game and play at a tempo that we’ve trained for the past eight, nine weeks to play at.
