Josh Van Der Flier is latest Irish casualty
By Online Editors
Joe Schmidt will name his squad for the upcoming Autumn internationals later this week but will be without Josh Van Der Flier.
The Leinster flanker will need surgery after damaging his ankle in their victory over Glasgow on Saturday.
That will rule the 24-year old out of Leinster's clash with Ulster and the three games for Ireland against Fiji, South Africa and Argentina.
Van Der Flier has been in flying form for Leinster and was widely expected to be named Schmidt's final selection on Thursday.

It is crystal clear that people who make such threats on line should be tried and imprisoned. Those with responsibility in social media companies who don’t facilitate this should be convicted. In real life, I have free speech to approach someone like Reinach and verbally threaten him. I am risking a conviction or a slap but I could do it. In the old days, If someone anonymously threatened someone by letter the police would ask and use evidence from the postal system. Unlike the Post, social media companies have complete instant and legal access to the content in social media. They make money from the data, billions. Yet, they turn a blind eye to terrorism, Nazi-ism and industrial levels of threats against individuals including their address and childrens schools being published online all from ananoymous accounts not real speech. They claim free speech. The fault is with the perps but also social media companies who think anonymous personas posting death threats constitutes free speech.

Yes I may rip them often for 8 X QF RWC exits & twice not even making it to the QF, but they’re a damn good team who many think can only improve, including me!
