Rugby-Ireland's Stander likely to miss four weeks with facial injury
Irish Rugby on Monday confirmed his absence for the coming weeks, which means the South African-born forward is unlikely to return before Ireland's fourth Six Nations fixture at home to France on Mar. 10. Coach Joe Schmidt does have a few other injury concerns ahead of the trip to Murrayfield to face Scotland on Saturday, with lock Devin Toner (ankle) and centre Garry Ringrose (hamstring) both to be assessed over the next 24 hours.
Wing Keith Earls (hip) will also be managed through the next few days as he recovers from a knock picked up in the weekend 32-20 defeat, a poor start to Ireland's defence of their Six Nations crown. (Reporting By Nick Said Editing by Keith Weir)
