Ireland ring changes as Bell forced to withdraw
Bell, named on Sunday in the 30-man Irish World Cup squad, will be left behind to receive treatment for an ankle injury.
He is being replaced on the trip by fellow Ulsterman Paddy Wallace and joins Leinster’s Shane Horgan and Munster duo John Hayes and John Kelly on the treatment table. They are replaced by Gordon D’Arcy, Justin Fitzpatrick and Tyrone Howe.
