Ireland added limitless mainstay Eric O’Sullivan to their squad for the Fall Nations Cup clash with Georgia, while Johnny Sexton and Robbie Henshaw remain out.

The 24-year-old Ulster O’Sullivan was called up by head coach Andy Farrell after Ed Byrne suffered a calf problem before Saturday’s loss to England.

Leinster Byrne’s mainstay will continue his rehab.

Captain Sexton and center Henshaw missed the 18-7 loss at Twickenham due to hamstring and groin injuries, respectively.

The pair will not be available for Sunday’s game against the Lelos as Farrell’s men complete their Group A matches following the win over Wales and the loss to World Cup finalists Eddie Jones.

Munster mainstay John Ryan, who suffered an unspecified problem in warming up in London, is expected to resume full training later in the week.

Georgia travels to Dublin after losing each of its two Fall Nations Cup games without scoring a point.
