Ireland Release Three Players & Confirm The Extent Of Joey Carbery's Injury

Joe Schmidt has released a further three players from his squad as they continue to prepare for the Rugby World Cup in Japan while also providing another update on Joey Carbery.

The squad reassembled today at Dublin Airport before departing for a warm-weather training camp in Portugal.

Joey Carbery will be available for selection in 4 to 6 weeks and will continue his rehab on his ankle injury with the national squad. Meanwhile, Devin Toner’s ankle knock has not presented any further issues while Rob Herring who retired from the game early due to a back spasm has also fully recovered.

Prop Finlay Bealham, scrumhalf John Cooney and utility back Mike Haley have returned to their provincial bases.

Ireland’s next fixture is against England in Twickenham on Saturday 24th August.
