Ireland scrumhalf Conor Murray will take no further part in Ireland's Autumn Nation Series after sustaining a groin strain in their hard-fought 19-16 win over South Africa last weekend.
An IRFU statement this lunchtime read: "Unfortunately... Conor Murray has been ruled out of the rest of the series with a groin strain and will commence his rehab at Munster."
There's good elsewhere, though, with three of Ireland's other major injury concerns making rapid recoveries ahead of the Fiji test.
Tadhg Furlong, Robbie Henshaw and Stuart McCloskey have received a positive prognosis.
"Robbie Henshaw, who missed out on Saturday's game due to a hamstring issue, will reintegrate to training this week.
"Stuart McCloskey is recovering quickly from the arm issue that forced him off early against South Africa and will train this week.
"Tadhg Furlong (ankle) is expected to take part in training this week, while Ireland captain Johnny Sexton is recovering well from a dead leg."
The Ireland A side that was hammered by an All Blacks XV on Friday in the RDS has, however, lost three players to injury.
"From Friday night's A game against the All Black XV, Ciaran Frawley suffered a twisted knee and will continue his rehab at Leinster. Joe McCarthy and Ryan Baird will continue their return-to-play protocols at Leinster."
Ireland also confirmed its 39-man squad for Fiji week.
