Sexton was officially nominated in the Irish starting lineup on Thursday in a move to express his concerns to the safety campaign group Progressive Bragby.

"In our view, this is sufficient evidence to pay close attention to both short-term and long-term health, regardless of subsequent testing.

"There is evidence that players with a history of brain damage are at increased risk of further tremors and other damage, so this attention needs to be further strengthened.

" Unfortunately, HIA Published. Last week, the process again failed to diagnose a clear and overt brain injury (Jeremy Ruffman), but three days later it is said to have identified a phantom injury (Sexton)

.

New Zealand challenged Ireland three times six times at Eden Park last weekend. Farrell was well aware that tourists had to strengthen their defenses.

However, the former Dual Code International also claimed that Ireland "knows the answer" to the All Blacks question.

"Honestly, the young people are in a good place. Obviously now, on Thursday before the test match, they would expect," Farrell said.

"But even at the beginning of the week, when you don't know the answer, a little question arises-but they know the answer, they know the bit needed to get it right.
