Flanker joins Jones on the sidelines
Ireland international David Wallace is facing six months out of action following surgery on his right knee.
The 35-year-old damaged his ligaments after being tackled by Manu Tuilagi in the 20-9 defeat to England at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday.
Wallace, who was stretchered off, had an operation to repair the damage in Dublin on Sunday - with the experienced flanker now facing a lengthy period of rehab.
Wallace, whose World Cup hopes were ended by the injury, will join fellow crocked international and Munster team-mate Felix Jones on the sidelines.
Jones had looked to be a certainty for the World Cup squad before he was injured in the warm-up games against France.
The 24-year-old will see a specialist for a clearer indication of how long he faces being out of action.
