Scrum-half Casey will sit out because of concussion suffered in a challenge by former Munster team-mate RG Snyman which saw him leave the field on a stretcher. Leinster ******* Sheehan sustained suspected ligament damage to his left knee as he tackled Springbok lock Eben Etzebeth. Ulster half-back Nathan Doak and Connacht forward Dave Heffernan have been drafted into the squad as a result. A statement from the Irish Rugby Football Union said: “Following medical assessments after Saturday’s opening Test, the Ireland management can confirm that neither Craig Casey (concussion) nor Dan Sheehan (left knee) will play any further part in the South ******** series which concludes next Saturday in Durban. “Connacht ******* Dave Heffernan and Ulster scrum-half Nathan Doak have been called up and the duo have linked up with the squad in Durban.” Ireland went down 27-20 to the world champions in Pretoria on Saturday despite scoring two tries inside the final six minutes as the hosts survived a concerted fightback.
