Four added to Ireland squad

The Ireland management team have made four additions to the Autumn International squad for next weekend’s game against Romania in Lansdowne Road.

In the forwards, Munster hooker Jerry Flannery has been called into the squad and is joined by two other Munster colleagues.

Second rows Mick O’Driscoll and Trevor Hogan are added as cover for Malcolm O’Kelly (concussion) and Matt McCullough (dead leg).

O’Kelly suffered concussion during the Australia game and is unlikely to be available for selection. McCullough is undergoing treatment on his dead leg and has not been ruled out.

Munster’s John Kelly has also been added to the squad as cover for Shane Horgan (dead leg).
