Ireland have suffered injury setbacks before next month’s Nations Championship, with Leinster duo Caelan Doris and Tommy O’Brien ruled out.
Caelan Doris and Tommy O’Brien will miss Ireland’s summer tour after picking up injuries during Leinster’s URC final victory over the Bulls.
Doris sustained a foot injury, while O’Brien suffered a groin problem, forcing both players out of the upcoming fixtures against Australia, Japan, and New Zealand.
Dan Sheehan will captain the side, while Ulster brothers Zac and Bryn Ward have been called into Andy Farrell’s squad ahead of the team’s departure for Australia.
