Interim Ireland head coach Simon Easterby is hopeful that Garry Ringrose won't be suspended for the rest of the Six Nations.

The Leinster centre is facing a ban after being sent off for a dangerous tackle on Ben Thomas in Saturday's victory against Wales in Cardiff.

Ringrose could be banned for up to six weeks, Easterby says they'll 'wait and see' what punishment will be handed out but insists he's not a 'malicious' player.

Meanwhile, Connacht scrum-half Ben Murphy is set for a spell on the sidelines after the province confirmed he's broken a finger.

Murphy will see a specialist this week after suffering the fracture in training with the Ireland 'A' team last week.
