PRETORIA - Ireland hooker Dan Sheehan will miss the second Test against world champions South Africa in Durban on Saturday, a member of the touring party told AFP on Monday.
He was replaced at half-time by Leinster teammate Ronan Kelleher, who is likely to start in Durban with Rob Herring providing cover on the bench. Murray would be the obvious replacement if Casey is ruled out with Caolin Blade promoted to the bench.
