Ireland will miss the services of Jamison Gibson-Park and Tadhg Furlong for the second round Six Nations game against France due to injuries.

Gibson-Park was a late withdrawal ahead of the games against Wales due to a hamstring injury and was replaced by Conor Murray.

Meanwhile, Furlong also missed the clash at Principality Stadium due to a calf injury while prop Cian Healy continues to remain on the sidelined with a hamstring injury.

"Jamison Gibson-Park and Cian Healy, who were both late withdrawals from the Wales game due to hamstring injuries, have been ruled out of contention for the France game," read a statement from the IRFU.
