Jacob Stockdale has been ruled out of Ireland's Test match against Portugal this weekend due to an injury which the Ulster winger suffered during Saturday's victory over Georgia.

Stockdale was replaced by Munster's Calvin Nash after 36 minutes against Georgia having fallen awkwardly on his shoulder. He has returned to Ireland and will see a specialist next week with a damaged AC joint being the suspected issue.
