LEINSTER WILL BE without number 10 Ross Byrne in this Friday’s Pro14 meeting with Scarlets (kick-off 19.35, TG4/ eir Sport) after he sustained a head injury in the Heineken Champions Cup win over Wasps.
The out-half will undergo concussion return to play protocols this week and his province today ruled him out of contention for that clash.
