Luke Fitzgerald OUT !!

[jamsodonnell]

Leinster and the IRFU medical staff have announced that Leinster winger Luke Fitzgerald will be unavailable for the rest of the season and the Summer tour to NZ. He will undergo surgery on a persistent neck problem. And so it begins .

[damianmcr]

Would he have started 100%?

They arent really lacking either tbf.

[isleofwighter]

Hhhmmm. "Neck problem", not good.
Wish him all the best.

Having been adequately chastised by LKOTP, I retract my previous statement. Must have picked this up in our rumour section and not the ERC or Leinster websites. Apologies .

Listen! We do NOT repeat do NOT comment on the oppositions injuries!

It's a scud and everyone on here will blame you if one of our squad has so much as a bad haircut before the 19th!

Btw - this belongs in opposition and provincial. I hope he recovers well.
My 6 year old loves Jedward and Luke Fitz has a career as a tribute act ahead of him

Can I say horrible things about Radge then?

[ruckover]

Sorry to hear - hope he recovers quickly, neck injuries can be extremely nasty.

[Loki]

hopefully the surgery goes well for him, can't imagine he's looking forward to it. it'll be interesting to see how he goes into contact on his return; playing with even a hint of the fear regarding an injury doesn't half put the yips on a career. don't particularly like him but hope to see any Irish player in the situation back fit and firing.

[weeHughF]

Hope he gets better soon, was looking like a Lion a few months ago!

[ding dong2u]

Here's hoping that he makes a full recovery

[Tom]

Hope hes better soon and gets a new contract. Not many better players to watch!

He was just looking like the player he was on Lions tour before he got injured against Australia. He's had a tough time with injuries.

Reports on twitter this morning saying O'Driscoll and Kearney picked up injuries in training this week and are out if the Glasgow game. Hopefully it's just precautionary for them

ditto

I'm glad we're not playing on Saturday though.

[rakem]

it'll take more than wild horses to keep them both off the pitch at twickenham. especially dricko.

After Drico's long injury earlier this year, if this is a repercussion it could be pretty bad.
