Watch – Keith Earls and John Ryan return to Munster to rehab injuries

Following Saturday’s physical Guinness Series encounter against South Africa at the Aviva Stadium there are a few players who will either be managed or require further medical investigation.

Peter O’Mahony received a number of stitches to his ear. Keith Earls will likely miss out on Ireland’s two remaining autumn Internationals with a hamstring injury while John Ryan presented with a calf injury following the game, both have returned to rehab in Munster.

The remainder of the match day 23 emerged with the usual bumps and bruises but are expected to be fit to train this week.

Ireland’s next game in the Guinness Series at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday 18th against Fiji is now also a 51,000 sell-out
