Ireland captain Johnny Sexton (37) has declared himself fit to face defending champions France in Saturday's Six Nations match in Dublin.

Sexton took a blow to the head during their 34-10 win over Wales in Cardiff at the weekend and had to complete a head injury assessment (HIA) before he could resume training.

Ireland coach Andy Farrell later said that Sexton's issue had been a "slight dead leg".

"Obviously the confusion around the HIA and stuff like that, it's nothing I can control," Sexton said.

"I'll be ready to go for 80 (minutes) this week if needed. I was happy in terms of how I felt physically at the weekend."
