Johnny Sexton is out of Ireland’s trip to France in the Six Nations.

The Leinster out half has a hamstring strain - his place at 10 is taken by Joey Carbery, with Jack Carty named on the bench.

That’s the only change from the team that defeated Wales in a bonus point win at Landsdowne Road. 

James Ryan will captain the side in Paris on Saturday in Sexton’s absence.
