Ireland prop Cian Healy is ruled out of the World Cup by a calf injury while Stuart McCloskey is named in Andy Farrell's 33-man squad.
Cian Healy will miss Ireland's World Cup campaign because a calf injury while centre Stuart McCloskey has been named in Andy Farrell's 33-man squad.
Prop Healy was injured in Ireland's final warm-up win over Samoa on Saturday and coach Farrell said his recovery could take up to 10 weeks.With the squad containing 15 backs, Farrell has found room for Ulster centre McCloskey. McCloskey had started in eight of Ireland's last 12 games but there was speculation his place could be under threat because of the ability of Keith Earls and Jimmy O'Brien to play in midfield.
However, Farrell has instead opted to take four specialist centres with the Ulsterman picked along with Garry Ringrose, Robbie Henshaw and Bundee Aki. The other players who have not made the cut from the previous 38-man squad are Ulster duo Tom Stewart and Jacob Stockdale plus Leinster back Ciaran Frawley and Connacht back row Cian Prendergast.
