Report: O'Brien ruled out of England game

Reports are suggesting that European player of the year Sean O'Brien has sustained a knee injury in training which rules him out of Saturday's final World cup warm-up match with England at the Aviva.

According to the Irish Independent the back row forward is now a doubt for the World cup opener in New Zealand against the USA on September 11.

Irish coach Declan Kidney names his starting 15 for the England match this afternoon.
