LEINSTER’S IN-FORM young hooker Ronan Kelleher will sit out four to six weeks with a hand injury, the province’s medics said today.
The 21-year-old has been in tremendous form through Leinster’s 11-match winning streak this season and has played his way towards consideration for international honours.
Kelleher sustained the hand injury in the away win over the Saints in round three of the Champions Cup. The worst-case return for his timeline presented today would leave him fit to return in time to be considered for Ireland’s Six Nations opener against Scotland.
During this weekend’s home win over the Saints, Ross Byrne suffered a dead leg and will be assessed during the week.
Jonathan Sexton, however, will return to see a specialist over the Christmas period in order to get a complete picture of the severity of the knee injury.
Surely he shouldn’t be admitting this?
@Declan Snow: 100% should receive a one match ban. For doing it and even more for being so open and proud of it.
Why would you come out and admit doing this…!!
1 1 in Germany with 5 mins to go and every Liverpool player should go down holding their leg.
@Dan: no point doing that when it’s 3-1 to Bayern you gimp
Did he also reveal that water is wet? Cue the outrage. Even though every team does it
Iv said it before if a players goes down and match has to be stopped, they should have to go off for a minimum period of time say 3 minutes. See how quickly all this would stop.
@Cormac Flanagan: and what about genuine cases? Want the oppositions star striker off for 3 minutes? “Accidentally stand on his toes at a corner….
@Ted Logan: if it’s genuine then he will require time for treatment anyway. Or be substituted. And if the star striker gets targeted it’s up to the ref/VAR to sort it out.
Football players fake injury , shocker
That game was like playing fifa being a goal up at the end and just passing about killing time at the same time pissing off the other player
Ramos is still a (unt though right?
Good thing Bielsa didn’t say this. 200k find incoming
Well , there’s a surprise . He won’t have any bad feelings so if Liverpool are ahead and develop a lot of cramp ! How does these guys become managers ? A silly admittance . Half time ….. hope next game is better than the anfield one .
Kick em out of the competition
@Hardly Normal: Harsh.
@James Clancy: I know ya but still
This is worse than Beckham gettin the yellow card
