Jonathan Sexton has declared his confidence that he will be fit for Ireland's opening Six Nations game.

Andy Farrell's men take on Wales in Cardiff next Sunday week but there was concern for his skipper when the Leinster out-half picked up a hamstring issue during the province's Guinness PRO14 win against Munster last Saturday.
