James Ryan will miss Ireland's final Six Nations match against Scotland on Saturday. 

The Leinster lock sustained a head injury early on in Saturday's defeat of England at Twickenham.

England's Charlie Ewels was sent off after just 82 seconds of the game for the challenge which resulted in Ryan being withdrawn.

He's going through the return to play protocols but won't be considered for this weekend's match.

Ryan Baird has also been ruled of the final game of the tournament due to a back issue.

Andy Farrell has called up Leinster duo Ross Molony and Joe McCarthy to train with the squad.

Ulster trio Robert Baloucoune, Nick Timoney and Mike Lowry have all returned to the squad, having featured in their win over Leinster in the United Rugby Championship on Saturday.

Ireland will win the Triple Crown if they beat Scotland at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday, but will require a slip-up from France against England to be in with a chance of winning the championship.

Preparations have begun for the game, with the squad having reassembled at their Carton House base last night.
