Ireland's Jansen ruled out of Fiji and Bok games
Sean Jansen is ruled out of the remainder of Ireland's Nations Championship campaign with a knee injury, further depleting head coach Andy Farrell's options at number eight.
Ireland's Sean Jansen has been ruled out of the rest of the Nations Championship due to a knee injury, diminishing head coach Andy Farrell's options at number eight. Jansen left the match against Argentina early in the 42-12 victory, and will now return to Connacht for rehab. Captain Dan Sheehan is a doubt for Saturday's home game against Fiji after suffering a concussion, but wing Rob Baloucoune and flanker Josh van der Flier may be fit.
Ireland will face South Africa on 21 November, bolstered by the call-ups of Ulster forward David McCann and hooker Gus McCarthy. Centre Bundee Aki, who withdrew from the Argentina game due to illness, is set to return to full training on Tuesday.
