Leinster wait on Furlong, Sexton and Lowe ahead of semi-final date with Bulls

Hooker Rónan Kelleher has already been ruled out of Friday’s game at the RDS.

TADHG FURLONG, JOHNNY Sexton and James Lowe are yet to get the green light to feature in Leinster’s United Rugby Championship semi-final meeting with the Bulls at the RDS on Friday.

Furlong came off during the quarter-final win over Glasgow on Saturday with a back injury, while Sexton (ankle) and Lowe (shin) both sat out the game.

And Leinster have confirmed the three players will all be assessed during the week before a decision is made on their availability for the semi-final showdown with South Africa’s Bulls.

However Rónan Kelleher remains unavailable for selection as he rehabs a shoulder issue.

In better news for the province, Hugo Keenan is set to return to full training this week after missing the Glasgow game.

James Tracy has also stepped up his rehabilitation programme as he looks to return from a neck injury.

There were no further updates available on Tommy O’Brien (knee), Dave Kearney (hamstring) or Will Connors (knee).

    Staying and scoring 40 goal’s is that before, during or after the tantrum ‘s?

    On Fergie, no other Utd manager will get the same disproportionate financial advantage as Fergie had. He robbed Villa and Spurs of their best player’s. With all the money all PL club’s get that advantage has been eroded. Furthermore, the top 4 all get greater money in CL qualification than available 10 year’s ago. Therefore, if Utd can’t qualify the financial advantage they used to have gets eroded even further. The problem is the expectation of their fan’s versus the new reality.

    @Daniel Kelly: you are talking absolutely bs, 1st regards taking villa/spurs best players jesus you would think utd absolutely drained them throughout the years, Sheringham, berbatov,Carrick,Yorke with villa, who else?? That’s in nearly 25yrs..To this day all the top clubs have and are still buying the best players from the lesser clubs it has always happened and yes champions lge money helps give your head a good wobble there its not as if fergie or utd created this..

    @Pauly Kel: Just like Big Jack Charlton had the best crop of Irish player’s ever…. Fergie had a financial stranglehold on the PL with revenues exceeding all other club’s. He plundered the above plus West Ham, Leeds, Forrest, Wigan et al for their best player’s. My point stands Kane ain’t swapping Spurs now for old toilet! Thanks for listening……
