Ireland winger Robert Baloucoune is out for three months after damaging an elbow against Scotland in the Six Nations last weekend. Baloucoune was named the rising star of the Six Nations last Saturday after Ireland beat Scotland 43-21 to take the Triple Crown. Sterling performances for Ulster in the first half of the season earned him a first Ireland cap since 2022. He marked his Six Nations debut with a try at home against Italy. Ireland's next games are in July in the Nations Championship against Australia, Japan and New Zealand.
