Ryan Baird has been ruled out of Ireland's next Autumn Nations Series match against Fiji.
The lock came on as a replacement in the win against Argentina last Friday, but was brought off shortly after with a head injury.
But there's good news for the squad, with Tadhg Furlong and Tom O'Toole both set to return this weekend.

Mayo GAA has sent a request to Central Council to allow Connacht to play Munster in a URC game at MacHale Park.
The province has reached out to the county board to host the interpro clash at the Castlebar venue.
At a meeting last week, Mayo GAA broadly approved the request, which will now go to Central Council to get the go-ahead.
Connacht would join Leinster, Munster and Ulster in having games hosted at GAA venues in one of the counties they represent.
