IRELAND AND LEINSTER fullback Rob Kearney is expected to return to training with his province this week, but remains an injury doubt ahead of the inter-provincial meeting with Connacht on Saturday.
Kearney missed the weekend bonus point win over Bath with ‘a bad dead leg’. Leinster’s medical update today says he will feature in training, though he will be assessed as the week wears on.
Kearney is among a contingent of players from Leinster who are in a two-day Ireland camp as Joe Schmidt gathers his squad to begin preparations for the Six Nations.
Leinster reported no further injuries arising out of the Aviva Stadium encounter, with Barry Daly prepared to step up his rehabilitation from a knee injury.

Yesssssss! It’s now officially Christmas! Fantastic!
Great to have him back, all the doomsday merchants from the bad day at the office for Ireland didn’t have much traction the last two games for Jordan who was swallowing balls with snow on them they were put up so high. Keep Rob for limerick trip, should be a great series of inter pros this Christmas period.
@mrbryanrussell: larmour was fine only a kid
@Thomas Lyster: exactly and like any human can have an off day, the poppycock being thrown around after that game was laughable but the kid was super in last two testing environments
