Injury Update

Sounds a bit better for Tommy.

No real surprise that LL's unresponsive groin was going to feel the sharp end of the surgeon's knife.

Herbie back doing some contact and a little scrummaging in training.
Lacking on the fitness front but outside chance for trip to Dublin.......... (very unlikely).

As he would be an unknown quantity without game exposure, it's probably better to let him get fit for the new season.

ricky lutton has hardly put a foot wrong, it would be harsh to drop him just because herbst is nearly fit.

[Loki]

I'd say that's a charitable review of Lutton's season. He's probably playing toward the maximum of his capabilities but his game in the loose, grunt and general discipline are all things that we should be looking to improve on in that position.

That he's not made a significant amount of howlers or cost us wildly is perhaps a fair point but I'd sooner appraise his positive contribution rather than praise a lack of negatives.

Having said all that I'm in the camp that would have Herbst as a "break-glass" option at the moment. Would far rather see him get fit over the summer and work on his shape in the scrum so that he can reach the levels of performance demonstrated in his first season here.

Glad to hear there's no significant concerns - it'll be interesting to see Leinster's report.

You were right rocky it was his quad

"Rob Kearney (ankle) and Johnny Sexton (quad) were both withdrawn against Benetton Treviso for precautionary reasons but are making good progress from both injuries."

[ruckover]

Rob Kearney's withdrawal against Treviso was more than just a precaution. Good recovery does not necessarily mean a fast one.

That's a shame, Rob Kearney is Leinster's Jamie Carragher.

Cher?

Zebo and Kearney both injured and doubtful for SA tour
Will Joe finally be forced to play the best full back in Ireland in his proper position?
