Jamie Osborne withdrawn from Ireland team after Lions call-up
Less than an hour after Ireland announced a team containing Jamie Osborne to play Portugal in Lisbon (7pm Irish time, live on Virgin Media), head coach Andy Farrell contacted the Irish management to inform them that the Leinster back was required to join the Lions in Australia. Scotland's Blair Kinghorn sustained a knee injury against the Brumbies and while the news was positive, Osborne has been summoned to Australia as cover. The player had been due to win a ninth cap in partnering Stuart McCloskey in the centre for Ireland against Portugal. The 21-year-old uncapped centre Hugh Gavin is promoted from the bench to the starting team with Munster's Calvin Nash coming into the replacements. Ireland's interim coach Paul O'Connell has made six changes to the run-on team – there are eight in total – that beat Georgia 34-5 for Saturday's Test match. Two more uncapped players - Connacht wing Shayne Bolton and Munster flanker Alex Kendellen - join Gavin in the starting team. There are three changes in the backline, the 25-year-old Bolton replacing the luckless Jacob Stockdale who has returned home with a shoulder injury, while Jack Crowley will make his 26th appearance in an Ireland jersey alongside Craig Casey, who once again captains the team. Munster's Tom Ahern will win his second cap against Portugal. Photograph: Ben Brady/Inpho There are three changes to the pack. Tom Ahern, who won a first cap as a replacement in Tbilisi starts alongside Darragh Murray in the secondrow while Kendellen and Cian Prendergast replace Nick Timoney and Gavin Coombes respectively in the backrow. Kendellen led Emerging Ireland on last year's winning tour to Bloemfontein. Prendergast was a late withdrawal from the match 23 last weekend with a gastro bug. Tom O'Toole is promoted to the bench having shaken off an injury niggle while Ciarán Frawley will cover outhalf. The 21-year-old Galway native Gavin is a former Ireland Under-20 Grand Slam winner, and like his provincial teammate Bolton scored on his Ireland 'A' debut in February. Portugal will become the 21st country that Ireland has awarded caps against and the first 'new' nation since facing Russia in 2002. Speaking to the media before the Osborne news broke, O'Connell said: 'I have been really pleased with the attitude of the players over the last number of weeks. The dedication and diligence of the squad in testing conditions over in Tbilisi demonstrated the players' willingness to embrace challenges and hopefully that bodes well again this weekend. 'This Saturday presents another opportunity to go out and try to play our game. Portugal are another impressive emerging side who look to play an exciting brand of rugby, and we know that we're in for another battle hopefully in front of another big crowd of travelling supporters. 'To our three new debutants - Shayne, Alex and Hugh – congratulations on their selection. The team will try to deliver a positive performance for them and their families.' Following confirmation of Osborne's Lions call up, O'Connell said: 'On behalf of the Ireland team I would like to congratulate Jamie on his selection to the British & Irish Lions. 'It's fantastic news for Jamie and we wish him well in Australia. Jamie has been a consistent performer for Leinster and Ireland and I'm sure he'll be a great addition to the Lions squad.' Ireland: J O'Brien (Leinster/Naas); T O'Brien (Leinster/UCD), H Gavin (Connacht/Galwegians), S McCloskey (Bangor/Ulster), S Bolton (Connacht); J Crowley (Munster/Cork Constitution), C Casey (Munster/Shannon, capt); J Boyle (Leinster/UCD), G McCarthy (Leinster/UCD), T Clarkson (Leinster/Dublin University); T Ahern (Munster/Shannon), D Murray (Connacht/Buccaneers); R Baird (Leinster/Dublin University), A Kendellen (Munster/UCC), C Prendergast (Connacht/UCD).

Rhasidat Adeleke withdraws from Monaco Diamond League
Ireland's Rhasidat Adeleke is a late withdrawal from the 400 metres at Friday's Monaco Diamond League, casting some doubt over her racing schedule in the coming weeks. With a composed and dominant performance, Adeleke won the event at Stade Louis II in Monaco a year ago. Her time of 49.17 seconds was just shy of her Irish record of 49.07 set a month previous, although she's been well short of breaking 50 seconds in her three 400m Diamond League appearances so far this summer. No exact reason has been given for Adeleke's decision to by-pass Monaco. The 22-year-old had been among the entries originally listed earlier this week, and was then absent when the eight-lane line-up was confirmed on Thursday morning. At last Saturday's Pre Classic meeting in Eugene, Oregon, at no point did Adeleke appear anywhere near her best when finishing fourth. Sluggish from the gun, missing her usual spark throughout, her time of 51.33 was her slowest time this summer. There was some tapping on her knee, suggesting she may be dealing with some injury issues of late. READ MORE Adeleke's opening Diamond League appearances in the 400m last month, in Oslo and then Stockholm, were also below par. She faded to sixth in the homestretch in Stockholm, running 50.48, having run 50.42 to finish fourth in Oslo three nights before. The line-up in Monaco includes Olympic champion Marileidy Paulino from the Dominican Republic, who has already run 48.81 to win the Paris Diamond League, along with Olympic bronze medallist Natalia Kaczmarek-Bukowiecka from Poland, who finished ahead of fourth-placed Adeleke in Paris. From the outset of this particularly long season, Adeleke has been talking about timing things differently. However, this mid-season interruption was not anticipated with the World Championships in Tokyo only two months away. Next Saturday's London Diamond League, where last year Adeleke ran the 200m, doesn't feature a women's 400m. The Diamond League then takes a break until Silesia in Poland on August 16th, in part to allow for the staging of National Championships and World Championship trials. The Irish Championships will take place in Santry on August 2nd/3rd, and Adeleke is expected to make an appearance there, winning the 100m last year in a new Irish record of 11.13 seconds. Given her last three performances have been regressing, Adeleke will want to show some return to top form before the World Championships if she is to challenge for a medal. While Monaco includes several other Olympic rematches, including Noah Lyles from the US and Letsile Tebogo from Botswana in the 200m, and the full podium in the men's 800m, Adeleke can perhaps take some comfort from the fact Olympic 5,000m champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen from Norway and Britain's 800m champion Keely Hodgkinson have yet to race outdoors this season due to injury, yet still hope to be fit for Tokyo. Over a dozen other Irish Olympians will be in action on Friday evening at the Morton International Games in Santry, including Sharlene Mawdsley in a high-quality 400m, and Andrew Coscoran and Cathal Doyle in the headline event, the Morton Mile. Jack Raftery runs the men's 400m having recently clocked 44.98, joining David Gillick as the second member of the Irish sub-45 club, with Israel Olatunde will be eyeing his Irish 100m record of 10.12 seconds.
