Andy Farrell had a positive fitness update on a couple of Irish Lions, fly-half Johnny Sexton and back rower Sean O’Brien. Sexton finished last Friday's Pro12 semi-final loss to Scarlets having not kicked during the game and underwent a post-match Head Injury Assessment, which he passed. O'Brien was a late withdrawal before kick-off having experienced tightness in his calf.
