Luke Marshall has emerged as a doubt for Ireland's second Test against Argentina this weekend.

The Ulster centre suffered another head injury during last Saturday's opening Test against the Pumas, although it has not been diagnosed as a concussion.

The IRFU say that their medical staff are taking extra precautions with Marshall this week in the wake of the series of concussions that he suffered last season, but he has not been ruled out of playing this weekend as of yet.
