Fitzgerald and Kearney out for Argentina clash

THERE was mixed news for Ireland coach Declan Kidney last night as Luke Fitzgerald and Rob Kearney were ruled out of Sunday’s game against Argentina but Brian O’Driscoll remains in contention for selection.

Ireland captain O’Driscoll suffered a bruised shoulder in Saturday’s defeat to New Zealand and along with fellow centre Gordon D’Arcy and wing Tommy Bowe, (calf strains), has been prescribed rest and rehabilitation.

None has been ruled out for the Argentina game and a further update on them is expected tomorrow.
