## Summary

Sean Jansen has been ruled out of the rest of Ireland’s Nations Championship campaign with a knee injury, adding to a shortage of options at number eight. He was injured during Ireland’s 42-12 win over Argentina, and will return to Connacht for rehabilitation.

Hooker Dan Sheehan will miss Saturday’s match against Fiji after a concussion and is also a doubt for the South Africa game on 21 November, pending a 12-day return-to-play process. Uncapped Ulster forward David McCann and hooker Gus McCarthy have joined the squad; Ireland are hopeful wing Rob Baloucoune and flanker Josh van der Flier will be available, while Bundee Aki is expected to resume training on Tuesday.
