Ireland captain Johnny Sexton will miss the final fixture of the national team’s Autumn Internationals after he twisted a knee and ankle against New Zealand at the weekend.
The injury will rule Sexton out of action for 4-6 weeks but the Ireland captain will remain with the squad this week as the team prepares for the game against Argentina.
Sexton went down in the first half of the match and was treated on the pitch but played on until he required a Head Injury Assessment in the 65th minute.
Connacht’s Jack Carty has joined the Ireland squad for the final week of the Autumn Nations Series after a strong start to the season with the Westerners.
Carty leads the points charts in the United Rugby Championship, having scored 56 after five rounds with 20 combined penalties and conversions slotted between the posts.
The fly-half could make his first appearance in the national green since the Rugby World Cup in 2019 – he started at 10 in Ireland’s infamous loss to Japan.
Munster number 8 Gavin Coombes has returned to the squad having missed last week through illness.
Coombes will aim to get some more international minutes under his belt after making his debut earlier this year.
The 23-year-old is one of a wealth of back-row options that Ireland currently has at its disposal.
Ireland’s final game of the Autumn Nations Series is against Mario Ledesma’s Argentina, who are looking to end a disappointing year on a high.
Ireland, on the other hand, have a chance to end their year with an eighth win in a row after beginning it with two successive defeats.
Los Pumas were last in Dublin in 2018 when Ireland emerged as the victors 28-17.
Another great crowd is expected at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday with over 45,000 tickets sold to date. Tickets are available at ticketmaster.ie.

]]> USA Rugby Head Coach Gary Gold was impressed with former Connacht prospect Luke Carty after the 23-year-old made his debut for the side at Twickenham last weekend.

The USA lost 43-29 to Eddie Jones’ England but were the better side in the second half after a poor first 40 minutes.

Carty scored nine points on the day to help the side to close the gap they had allowed to open up as they outscored the English 26-17 to finish on a high.

“I thought [his debut] went very well,” Gold said.

“I thought he was quite composed – he’s a confident young man.”

Irish-born Carty will start on Saturday night against Ireland at fly-half, collecting his second cap for the USA Eagles in the process.

Carty qualifies for the United States via his grandmother, who was born in New York.

He moved to the US at the beginning of 2021 to join the LA Giltinis, who are currently playing their inaugural season in Major League Rugby.

The United States international has impressed for the side that also has Australian legends Adam-Ashley Cooper and Matt Giteau on its books.

Paul Mullen is another USA star that has impressed Gary Gold since coming into the American national side.

Mullen made his debut for the States in the summer of 2018 as a substitute in the side’s 62-13 win over Russia in Colorado.

The Aran Islands native has gone to represent the national team at the Rugby World Cup in 2019 and will play the country of his birth for the second time, earning his 20th cap in the process.

Gold noted the Utah Warriors’ prop’s improvement since breaking into the Eagles squad and gave credit to the MLR as one of the reasons for that.

“Yeah, I think he’s improved…I think that’s down to the MLR and being able to get regular game time.”

The 29-year-old will also start against Ireland on Saturday night, positioned at tighthead prop.

The game will kick-off at 7:15 pm with RTÉ broadcasting it in the Republic of Ireland.
