Dublin - Fly-half Jonathan Sexton has not been rushed back into the starting line-up for Six Nations champions Ireland's game against France on Saturday, says Irish team scrum coach Greg Feek.
Sexton - who was inspirational as Ireland won the Six Nations title last year and recorded memorable wins over South Africa and Australia in November - will play his first competitive game since being stood down for 12 weeks after suffering several concussions last year.
Coach Joe Schmidt insisted on Thursday there was no problem in starting the 29-year-old in a game that he said was a must win if Ireland were to retain their title.
