JORDAN DUGGAN HAS been ruled out of Emerging Ireland’s tour of South Africa after suffering an ankle injury in training.
The loosehead will return to Connacht to rehab the injury, with Leinster’s Alex Usanov replacing him in Simon Easterby’s touring squad.
Former Malahide RFC and Belvedere College man Usanov, who now represents Clontarf in the AIL, won five caps with Ireland U20s last season.
Emerging Ireland’s three-match series in South Africa will be shown on IrishRugby+ as well as on Super Sport in the host nation.
They’ll first face The Pumas at 3pm next Wednesday.
