It is reported that Johnny Sexton is making good progress in his recovery from concussion and will be available for the Ireland's Six Nations encounter with France.

According to The Irish Times, the Racing Metro fly-half should receive the all-clear a week before the St Valentine’s Day clash, Ireland's second game of the campaign after their opener against Italy on February 7th.

Meanwhile, the Times also reports that Corkman Tomas O'Leary could be on his way back to Munster.

The London Irish scrum-half was last capped in March 2012.
