Uncapped Munster hooker Diarmuid Barron has flown to France with the Ireland training squad after injured first choice number two Dan Sheehan was held back in Dublin to rehabilitate the foot injury he sustained in the win over England.

Sheehan pulled up in the first half of the 29-10 win over England in Ireland's final home game before the World Cup with head coach Andy Farrell explaining the hooker had lost power in his foot.
