Three Ireland internationals have been ruled out in Andy Farrell’s plans for the Autumn Nations Series this November after a brutal medical update from Leinster, with a potential for three more players to follow suit.

Leo Cullen’s side have confirmed a number of new injuries concerns as they head into their URC derby clash with old enemies Munster.

A missive from the Irish province reveals fresh injuries to Ireland internationals Will Connors, Ronan Kelleher and Harry Byrne that will rule them out of the Autumn Nations Series entirely.

While Leinster confirmed that Ciarán Frawley and Caelan Doris came through last weekend’s win over Connacht unscathed and that fullback Hugo Keenan was also battling his way back to fitness, there was less than promising news elsewhere.

“Unfortunately, there was less positive news on a number of other players,” read the statement. “Will Connors had a procedure last week for a bicep injury suffered against the Cell C Sharks and will be unavailable for up to 12 weeks.

“While Rónan Kelleher and Harry Byrne both suffered hamstring injuries and will be unavailable for up to eight weeks.”

Making matters worse are the growing fears around James Ryan, British & Irish Lions No.8 Jack Conan and Josh van der Flier. Of those three, the graveous concerns will be for Ryan, who suffered a nasty looking knee injury.

“Jack Conan (eye), James Ryan (knee) and Josh van der Flier (ankle) require further assessment this week.

“There were no further updates on: James Lowe (calf), James Tracy (neck), Charlie Ryan (knee) and Tommy O’Brien (knee).”

Ireland will take on World Champions South Africa this November as the Springboks play in Dublin for the first time in five years. The two sides have not met since Ireland posted a record 38-3 victory against South Africa in 2017.

The men in green will then face Fiji in the second match of the Autumn Nations Series on Saturday 12th November before going head-to-head with the Wallabies a week later.

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
