Sean Jansen has been ruled out of the rest of Ireland's Nations Championship campaign after suffering a knee injury during Friday's 42-12 victory over Argentina. Jansen's setback leaves head coach Andy Farrell with limited options at number eight, with both Caelan Doris and Jack Conan already sidelined. Jansen will now return to Connacht for rehabilitation.
Hooker Dan Sheehan will also miss Saturday's match against Fiji and is doubtful for the November 21 clash against South Africa due to concussion. In response to mounting injuries, uncapped Ulster forward David McCann and hooker Gus McCarthy have been added to the senior squad, while Bundee Aki is expected to resume training.
