Ireland Faces Key Injuries Ahead of Wales Match

Ireland's Six Nations campaign has been significantly impacted by the loss of captain Caelan Doris, who is sidelined with a knee injury sustained during the match against Scotland. Alongside Doris, hooker Ronan Kelleher and prop Tadhg Furlong are also ruled out due to respective neck and calf issues. As a result, Ireland's interim head coach Simon Easterby has called up several players, including Gavin Coombes and Stuart McCloskey, to strengthen the squad. With the match against Wales approaching, Jack Conan is expected to step in for Doris at number eight. The team will aim to recover and focus on their upcoming fixtures, including a crucial match against France in three weeks. The official squad announcement for the Wales clash is scheduled for Thursday.
