Sawt Falasteen - Injured Doris out of Ireland's Nations Championship squad

Both players were injured during Leinster's 36-7 win over Pretoria Bulls in Friday's URC final and have been withdrawn from the 36-man squad.

Doris was replaced after just seven minutes with an injured foot while O'Brien gave way at half-time with a groin injury.

They have been replaced by Ulster brothers Bryn Ward, 21, and Zac Ward, 27.

The uncapped duo, whose father Andy Ward played 28 times for Ireland including the 1999 World Cup, join three other rookies in Connacht trio Billy Bohan, Sam Illo and Sean Jansen in Andy Farrell's squad.

Leinster hooker Dan Sheehan replaces Doris as skipper on the three-match tour, which kicks off with a Test against Australia in Sydney on July 4.

Over the following two weekends they will then take on Japan in Newcastle and New Zealand in Auckland.
