Ireland are currently in action in the southern hemisphere as they take on South Africa in the first test of the tour.
But Joe Schmidt's side have suffered a blow with a red card shown to South Africa-born Ireland back-row CJ Stander in the first half.
He was sent off by Matieu Raynar for catching the jaw of Pat Lambie with his hip when he jumped in the air to try and block a kick, an incident which saw the South Africa player stretchered off.

In positive news, Lambie is said to be back on his feet in the dressing room before being taken to hospital as a precaution.
