Jordi Murphy out for up to 9 months with knee injury

Ireland will be without Jordi Murphy for the remainder of the autumn internationals after the flanker was ruled out for up to nine months with a knee injury sustained during the ground-breaking win over New Zealand.

The Leinster number eight, who has 17 caps for Ireland, injured his left knee as the underdogs despatched the back-to-back world champions 40-29 at Chicago's Soldier Field on Saturday and Ireland confirmed the news before they called up six players on Monday.
