Ireland loses Murphy after All Blacks win

Ireland loses Murphy after All Blacks win

Ireland’s win over the All Blacks has come at a great cost with their star flanker Jordi Murphy ruled out for six to nine months because of a knee injury.

Murphy sustained his injury in Ireland's historic win over New Zealand on Sunday.

The flanker who scored Ireland's first try in the 40‑29 victory in Chicago will miss this season's Six Nations.

Meanwhile, Fiji-born Setareki Tamanivalu has been called up to join to All Blacks and replace the injured George Moala.

In the rugby test matches this weekend, the Barbarians meet Fiji at 8.30am Saturday, Italy clash with the All Blacks at 3am Sunday.

Australia meet Scotland at 3.30am Sunday, South Africa and England also play at 3.30am Sunday while Samoa and France meet at 5.45am Sunday.
