Rhys Ruddock has been ruled out of the Rugby World Cup after he was left out of the provisional Ireland squad.
Head coach Joe Schmidt has confirmed that that Leinster flanker would have been included in the extended 45-man squad if the player had not suffered an unfortunate arm fracture during last week's Tiblisi Cup win over Uruguay.
Jack Conan and Tadhg Furlong are the two uncapped players in the training panel, but there is no place for Munster out-half Ian Keatley with Paddy Jackson and Ian Madigan set to act as understudies to Johnny Sexton.
Veteran centre Gordon D'Arcy has been included, along with his Leinster team-mate, Noel Reid - but there's no place for Ulster's Luke Marshall.
