Fogarty promoted as a precaution

Ireland 'A' hooker John Fogarty has been promoted to the senior Ireland camp and will not play in Friday night’s ‘A’ game against Tonga in Ravenhill.

Jerry Flannery came through training for Declan Kidney’s side at the Ireland session in the RDS, but Fogarty has been called in a precautionary cover.

This means that his brother Denis Fogarty will start for Ireland 'A' as a result.

Ulster hooker Andy Kyriacou has been called up to the Ireland 'A' replacements.
