“Johnny failed an HIA,” said Schmidt. “He hit the ground quite hard but he’s pretty good now. We’d be pretty confident that he’d bounce back quickly.”
The Ireland head coach said Sexton had been stamped on accidentally by one of his own players in the first half, while also taking a stamp to his ankle.
