Ireland coach Joe Schmidt expects that Paul O'Connell's global vocation may be over after his chief was constrained off with a genuine looking leg damage in the 24-9 triumph over France.
"It doesn't look awesome with Paul. It would seem that an upper hamstring however we will most likely need to hold up until Monday to give it an output," said Schmidt.
Fly-half Johnny Sexton is additionally set for an output on a crotch strain.
Dwindle O'Mahony endured an associated knee harm yet is less with a worry.
Lock O'Connell, 35, is leaving worldwide rugby and joining Toulon after the World Cup - having won 108 tops.
Notwithstanding the harm stresses for next Sunday's quarter-last against Argentina in Cardiff, flanker Sean O'Brien could confront a refering to for an asserted punch on Pascal Pape.
Sexton, who landed two early punishments, was the trio's first to leave following 25 minutes taking after a strong hit from Louis Picamoles.
O'Connell left on a stretcher off at half-time and after that O'Mahony withdrew in the second half.
"It's likely Paul that stresses me the greater part of the three," watched Schmidt.
"With Johnny, it would seem that an adductor to me, yet it's not the scholarly eye of a surgeon. So we are likely going to get him examined tomorrow.
"He's as of now discussing one week from now. I'm not certain whether that implies he'll be playing. He's never shy of exhortation.
"O'Mahony didn't appear to be too terrible, we are cheerful. I believe it's a turned lower leg or knee. He was strolling really well in the changing room and ideally he'll be OK."
Number eight Jamie Heaslip, some piece of an imposing Irish back-line, said the group had urgently not terrified after the wounds.
"At half-time, it was entirely a quiet evolving room. Everybody only sort of exchanged into their part and adjusted a bit to the arrangements, who was fitting in where and how we were going to continue," Heaslip said.
"Every one of the gentlemen who ventured in put in an enormous measure of work."
Ian Madigan went ahead for Sexton and coordinated the Irish group well, kicking two punishments and changing over Conor Murray's attempt after Rob Kearney had crossed for the first on 50 minutes.
"You're generally charmed when a youthful gentleman gets through the framework," Schmidt said.
"One thing that assisted Ian with wasing the go's nature forward ball that Jamie and the pack offered him. It got him on the front foot and made his occupation a smidgen less demanding.
"There are a great deal of sore bodies in that evolving room. The fellows were just physically and candidly depleted toward the end of it and starting here on that is the thing that you must allow when you get the chance to wear that shirt."
