Trimble injury setback for Ireland

Ireland winger Andrew Trimble will miss the last two 6 Nations fixtures, after breaking a bone in his hand.

The 32 year old aims to be back to help Ulster reach the playoffs of the Pro 12. Trimble will be a big loss to the Ireland back-three, he has been a regular starter under Joe Schmidt's tenure.
