Ryan Baird, Joe McCarthy and Ciarán Frawley all to miss Saturday’s Fiji clash
However, there was also a toll from the Ireland ‘A’ side’s emphatic defeat by an All Blacks XV at the RDS last Friday. Ciarán Frawley suffered a twisted knee and will continue his rehab at Leinster. Joe McCarthy and Ryan Baird will continue their return to play protocols at Leinster.
With Murray, Frawley, McCarthy and Baird all casualties from the original senior squad of 37, five of those players added to the squad for the ‘A’ game have been retained with the senior squad in addition to Iain Henderson. They are Gavin Thornbury, Scot Penny, Max Deegan, Caolin Blade and Jack Crowley.
