Ireland faces multiple injury setbacks ahead of their Nations Championship match against Fiji. Sean Jansen is ruled out for the remainder of the campaign due to a knee injury sustained in the 42-12 victory over Argentina. Captain Dan Sheehan will miss the Fiji match as he undergoes a 12-day return-to-play protocol following a concussion. With back-row options further depleted, uncapped Ulster forward David McCann and Leinster hooker Gus McCarthy have joined the training camp. Bundee Aki, who was a late withdrawal from the Argentina game due to illness, is expected to resume full training. Ireland will face Fiji on Saturday and South Africa on November 21, with the Nations Championship finals weekend scheduled for November 27-29 at Twickenham.
