THE IRISH RUGBY management team have today confirmed that Dan Tuohy suffered a fracture to his right arm in Saturday’s Six Nations win over Wales.
Tuohy sustained the injury after coming on for Paul O’Connell during the 26-3 victory over the Welsh at the Aviva Stadium.
Tuohy’s comeback date has yet to be confirmed, but he conceded defeat in a battle to be fit before the end of the Six Nations this afternoon.
The Ulster second row tweeted “there’s a game in eight weeks” as he hopes to return to action in time for the Heineken Cup quarter-final against Saracens at Ravenhill on April 5.
