Ireland have been forced into a late change ahead of their Rugby World Cup pool clash with Georgia this morning.
Joey Carbery is a late withdrawal from the replacements bench. He felt some irritation in the ankle after the Captain’s Run and Ireland say they “was felt best not to risk him” for the game.
Conor Murray has been drafted in as a replacement and will take Carbery’s spot on the bench.
