Ireland's Tadhg Furlong to Miss Six Nations Opener Against England Due to Injury

The experienced prop has been sidelined with a calf strain, forcing Ireland to adjust their lineup ahead of Saturday's match in Dublin.

Tadhg Furlong, Ireland's 32-year-old tight-head prop, has been ruled out of the Six Nations opener against England after aggravating a calf injury during training in Portugal.
Furlong, a veteran with 78 caps, had just returned to action this month after missing Ireland's autumn internationals due to hamstring and calf issues.
Connacht's Jack Aungier has been called up to the squad, and Finlay Bealham is expected to start at tight-head prop in Furlong's absence.
Ireland's lineup adjustments are further complicated by the suspension of Tom O'Toole, who is unavailable for the first two Six Nations games.
On a positive note, key players Dan Sheehan and James Lowe have rejoined the squad following successful injury recoveries and are likely to feature in Saturday's match.
