Hooker Kelleher also missed last Saturday's 27-18 victory in Cardiff with a neck injury.

Prop Furlong is continuing to recover from a calf / hamstring injury and has returned to Leinster for rehabilitation.

The 32-year-old has not played so far in the Six Nations.

Ireland face France in nine days' time in what is being billed as a championship decider.

Centre Garry Ringose, who was sent off in that match, was due to attend a disciplinary hearing this morning with the result expected this afternoon.
