Rugby-Ireland's Stander may miss rest of Six Nations with facial injury
"Keith Earls is pretty sore, with a hip issue, he got hit a couple of times early, he was very sore," Schmidt said. "CJ Stander we think has a facial injury and has gone for a scan. Devin Toner rolled his ankle, just taking a kickoff. "Beyond that there are physical and emotional bruises there for sure."
South African-born Stander's brother-in-law Ryk Neethling, the Olympic gold medal winning swimmer and former world champion, posted a picture of himself with Stander after the match on Twitter. "Not the result we wanted but an incredible experience nonetheless and proud of @CJStander playing 62 mins with two fractures in his cheek and eye socket," Neethling said in the tweet.
