Six Nations: Sexton to return for Ireland as Scotland add Glasgow quartet to squad

Sexton has been included in a 37-man training squad for the penultimate round of the Championship as Andy Farrell's men step up their push for the Grand Slam.

The 37-year-old fly-half is expected to come in for Ross Byrne, who started the 34-20 victory over Italy, after struggling with a groin injury.

Scrum-half Jamison Gibson-Park, prop Tadhg Furlong and centre Robbie Henshaw are also present following spells in the treatment room.

Meanwhile, Glasgow quartet Simon Berghan, Scott Cummings, Rory Darge, and Stafford McDowall have been added to the Scotland squad.

Suspended Grant Gilchrist, who misses the rest of the campaign after being handed a three-week ban following his red card in the last match away to France, has returned to Edinburgh and Josh Bayliss has returned to Bath.

With matches against the Irish and Italy at BT Murrayfield remaining, Gregor Townsend's side have two wins from three fixtures, while Ireland have won all three of their games.
