Dan Sheehan ruled out of Ireland test against Fiji

Ireland captain Dan Sheehan has been ruled out of the upcoming November test match against Fiji this Saturday. Radio Kerry, RTE, and Kfm Radio all reported that the player is unavailable following an injury sustained in Ireland's recent match against Argentina. [1][2][3]

Radio Kerry reported that Sheehan suffered a concussion during Ireland's 42-12 win over Argentina on Friday. The player is now following official return-to-play protocols. Additionally, player Sean Jansen will miss the remainder of the Nations Championship after coming off with a knee injury during the same match. [1]

To fill the vacancies in the squad, Leinster hooker Gus McCarthy and Ulster back-rower Dave McCann have received call-ups, according to Radio Kerry. [1]

Sheehan plays as a hooker for the Leinster club in the United Rugby Championship as well as the Ireland national team. Ireland's upcoming opponents, the Fiji national rugby union team, have defeated major international sides including Wales, Scotland, Australia, France, Italy, Argentina, and England, but they have yet to beat New Zealand, South Africa, or Ireland.
