Ciaran Frawley’s hopes of earning a first cap against Fiji next week are in doubt with confirmation that the Leinster out-half jarred a knee during Ireland ‘A’s heavy defeat to an All Black XV at the RDS on Friday night.

The 24-year old came off seven minutes after the interval and was replaced by Munster’s Jack Crowley who will come into the picture for the second of the November internationals if Frawley is restricted to sick bay.
