Johnny Sexton’s influence on Ireland’s trip to Twickenham this Saturday will not stop with his unavailability due to injury, James Lowe has insisted.

Captain Sexton and centre Robbie Henshaw were yesterday ruled out of the Autumn Nations Cup pool clash with England following injuries sustained in the victory over Wales last Friday.
