Dropping like flies.
Ireland have been dealt a further injury blow with Robbie Henshaw ruled out of this weekend’s crucial clash with Scotland at Murrayfield.
Rob Kearney is expected to slot back in at fullback in place of Henshaw, but the 25-year-old was expected to fill the void at thirteen left by Garry Ringrose and partner Bundee Aki in the centre.
Henshaw’s late withdrawal means Munster’s Chris Farrell is now primed to slot in at outside centre, with Ulster’s Will Addison another option.
