Joe Schmidt: Johnny Sexton and Peter O'Mahony will both be fit for France game

Johnny Sexton and Peter O'Mahony will both be fit for France's visit to Dublin at the end of the month but Joe Schmidt's focus is on Rome this Saturday, writes Brendan O'Brien.

Both players missed last week's frustrating loss to Scotland in Edinburgh, Sexton with a calf problem and O'Mahony due to a medial ligament injury. Their availability for the back end of the tournament is an incalculable boost.
