Ireland captain Caelan Doris will miss July’s Nations Championship matches with Australia, Japan and New Zealand with a foot injury.
Back row Doris was forced off in the early stages of Leinster’s United Rugby Championship final win over the Bulls at Croke Park on Friday.
Leinster wing Tommy O’Brien has also been ruled out of the three summer matches with a groin injury.
Ulster duo Bryn and Zac Ward have been called up in place of the injured duo, while hooker Dan Sheehan will captain Ireland in the absence of Doris.
