The Leinster centre was said to be struggling with a “niggle” on Wednesday, but it has since emerged that he has suffered a hamstring injury
Robbie Henshaw faces "a couple of weeks" on the sidelines at minimum, according to Ireland head coach Andy Farrell.Farrell stated that Ireland won’t make a call on Henshaw's fitness or a possible replacement until after their massive Rugby World Cup clash with Scotland on Saturday night.Henshaw suffered a fitness setback at the start of the tournament when he was a late withdrawal from Ireland’s bench for the 82-8 win over Romania.
Hooker Dan Sheehan has been preferred to Leinster team-mate Ronan Kelleher and will make his full World Cup debut in the other change to Andy Farrell’s starting XV, while back-rower Jack Conan is back on the bench following injury. Veteran fly-half Johnny Sexton will captain his side for the fourth successive Pool B fixture following his return from an absence of almost six months due to injury and suspension.
Centurion O’Mahony, who made his Test debut against Italy in 2012, will continue in the back row with world player of the year Josh van der Flier and Caelan Doris.
