Ireland fly-half Johnny Sexton given all-clear to start Six Nations

Joe Schmidt has declared Johnny Sexton fully fit to start Ireland’s RBS 6 Nations campaign after the fly-half’s latest concussion scare.

Sexton was withdrawn from Leinster’s 51-10 Champions Cup defeat to Wasps, but passed initial pitch-side Head Injury Assessment (HIA) and has since completed further tests to return to training.
