Carbery and Henshaw ruled out as Ireland take on Australia
By PA
Ireland’s Joey Carbery and Robbie Henshaw have been ruled out of Saturday’s Bank of Ireland Nations fixture against Australia.
Fly-half Carbery will complete return to play protocols at Munster following his removal from the win against Fiji on Saturday for a head injury assessment (HIA).
Centre Henshaw’s hamstring issue means he will continue his rehabilitation at Leinster, while full-back Jimmy O’Brien will complete the HIA process on Monday and is expected to be available to train after that.
Leinster lock Joe McCarthy returns to the squad having completed his return to play protocol, while Connacht centre Bundee Aki – who has trained with the squad for the last few weeks – is available for selection again having completed an eight-match suspension and the coaching intervention programme.
Players who sustained knocks against South Africa – Johnny Sexton, James Ryan, Andrew Porter, Josh Van Der Flier and Hugo Keenan – will be re-integrated as they return to fitness.

I’d say France was far more hard done by in the 2011 final than the All Blacks in this game. Joubert simply refused to call a penalty against the All Blacks in the last quarter even directing an All Black to drop a ball he picked up in an offside position rather than penalizing him. This article also totally discounts the efforts of PSTD. Ask Jordie how well he played. Or the backup flank who played hooker for the entire game. Siya was also a brilliant tackle by Richie from scoring a blinder. Pollard was also fantastic. Look I don’t like the boks style but the only thing more questionable than the content of this article is the timing of it. Get over it already
